I’ve been part of the CASA family since 2013. During my tenure as CEO, I’m proud of our program’s achievement as the largest serving CASA Program in Colorado. The mission of CASA inspires me daily and moved me to volunteer on a case myself. This personal experience provided me with deeper insight into the CASA role and helped improve my overall leadership within the organization. I continue to further my professional development and business expertise by pursuing an Executive MBA with the University of Denver. In my free time, I enjoy cheering on my stepson, Remington, during wrestling season with my husband Justin. We also enjoy spending family time with our best dog Roly, fishing, cheering for the Cowboys and, as a native Nebraskan, the Huskers.

I have called Westminster home since moving from Louisiana in 2015. I attended Louisiana State University and earned a B.A. in History and General Studies. I began with CASA as a Volunteer in 2008 in Shreveport, advocating for 10 children over a span of two years. I believed so much in the program that in 2010 I joined the CASA staff. In 2015, I was fortunate to join our CASA family here. I am passionate about the work that CASA does to speak for children who have been abused and neglected and will share our mission with anyone! Outside of work, I enjoy live music and spending time outdoors with my husband, Chris, and our sons, Nate and PJ.

I grew up in New Jersey and followed in my parents’ footsteps by attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Go Big Red!). I graduated with a B.A. in Communication Studies, and moved to Colorado in 2017. Before I began my journey with CASA in 2019, I worked for Cherry Creek School District as a Kindergarten Enrichment Specialist. I reside in the heart of Denver with my husband, David, and sweet dog, Nana. I work for CASA because I believe one positive adult can make all the difference in the life of a child. CASA Volunteers are that one person who can change the trajectory of a child’s life.

I have been a CASA Volunteer since 2012, and on the CASA staff since 2016. I have a B.S. in Psychology with an emphasis on statistics. In 2014, I obtained a J.D. and became a practicing attorney in family, juvenile, and criminal law. I have always had interest in advocating for children. I learned about CASA in law school and had an “AHA” moment. The CASA role is the perfect way to advocate for children and have the most impact. I have a deep passion for this work and love combining my interest in data and law to propel CASA’s mission forward. In my experience it is truly impactful and fulfilling work—both as a staff member and as an Advocate.

I have been with CASA since February 2014. Before that, I worked for a private school for 12 years. Born and raised in Colorado, I have lived in the Denver area since 1999. I attended college at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs (UCCS), where I earned both a B.A. and M.A. in Sociology. I work for CASA because I thoroughly enjoy working with passionate, selfless people. I need a mission to my work, and the CASA staff and volunteers are second to none in their dedication and community spirit.

I am originally from Mexico City, having lived in Southern California and Washington State before relocating to Colorado. I worked in the cruise and expedition travel industry for nearly 17 years and traveled to more than 70 countries. I began my journey with CASA as a Volunteer. I am 100% mission and purpose driven and see tremendous value in watching over the well-being of children in our community. I have sincere love for CASA’s mission and am happy to have the opportunity to support CASA Volunteers in my staff role. When not working, I thoroughly enjoy cooking, snowboarding, fishing and relaxing with Dakota, my dog!

I was raised in Albuquerque. I earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from NMSU and spent 10 years in the corporate sector. I have over 20 years of experience in nonprofit fundraising to support homeless families, victims of domestic violence, and children with special needs. I have been working with CASA since 2018. I am most proud of my role as “Gigi” to my very special grandson, Jaxson. As his secondary caregiver and advocate, I am dedicated to exposing him to a range of activities like skiing and going to museums. I know how important it is for children to “have a voice”—a person to listen to them and look out for their best interests.

I am from Vermont and earned a B.S. in Health Science and Social Policy at Brandeis University. I moved to Denver in 2018. I am currently a graduate student at CU Denver in the Master of Criminal Justice program and joined CASA in May 2022 as an Advocate Supervisor. I am attracted to jobs that combine meaningful work with the constant opportunity to learn and use new skills. I also love being able to work with volunteers with such a wide variety of strengths and backgrounds and being able to see how each person brings their unique skillset to their roles as CASAs!

I joined CASA in 2023 as the Events Manager.  I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from the University of Colorado and a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Grand Canyon University.  Creating safeguards and support for Colorado children to grow and learn to their fullest potential is my passion.  I am so happy to work with the CASA community to do just that! In my downtime I love to explore rivers and woods with my three sons and dog named Joy.

Before joining CASA in 2014, I spent 17 years in higher education, most recently at Metropolitan State University of Denver. I am originally from Southwest Missouri and earned a B.S. in Education at Missouri Southern State University, where I met my husband, James. The week after we graduated, we got married and moved to Fort Collins for graduate school at CSU (Go Rams!). We have two teenage children, Anna and Sam. I learned about CASA’s mission long before I joined our program. When I had the opportunity to work and volunteer with such a great organization, I jumped at it, and the people I get to work with are as wonderful as the mission!

In 2013, I moved my family from Texas to Colorado. After several years of working and mothering from home, in 2021, I started volunteering for CASA. I loved it so much, I applied for a staff position just 4 months later. I have a B.A in Psychology, a B.S. in Child Learning, and Doctorate of Audiology. Even though I maintain my licensure and board certification in Audiology, clinical practice is not as satisfying as the work I do for CASA. I choose to serve children who have been abused and neglected because improving their lives improves society at large. I am passionate about our mission, and I feel privileged to be a part of it.

I am from Slabtown, South Carolina. I was the first in my family to go to college, earning a B.A. in History from the University of South Carolina-Upstate. Then I made the best decision of my life—I moved to Colorado! I earned my M.A. in Public History from CSU and worked at a private investigative company, but I knew I belonged in the nonprofit world. Then I discovered CASA! I never had an advocate growing up, and I could have used one. I want to help provide that opportunity to children in my community who need it most, to empower them to reach their fullest potential, so that one day they too can make a difference in their communities.

I have been with CASA since I graduated from the University of Denver in 2021, where I received my bachelor’s degree in Public Policy and Socio-Legal Studies. I am from Fort Collins and have lived in Colorado my whole life. I am a CASA Volunteer and also volunteer my time with The Conflict Center, an organization supporting restorative justice practices with the help of community members. I live in Denver, and you can find me at yoga classes, coffee shops, concerts, or hiking. I am at CASA because I believe some of the most impactful moments of our lives happen in childhood, and I want to help make as many of those moments positive as I can.

I joined the CASA team in September of 2022. I am a Colorado native and received my B.S. in Human Development and Sociology from CSU in 2019. I have always been passionate about empowering children and families. After working and interning in the criminal justice field where I interacted with many families who had been impacted by abuse and neglect, I came to understand the power of advocacy to promote positive outcomes. CASA amplifies the voices of children and advocates for the wellbeing of families, and I am excited to be part of the CASA family! In my free time, I enjoy exploring Denver, cooking, and spending time with my dog, George.

I am a graduate of Colorado State University with a B.S. in Communications and a minor In Sociology. I have years of marketing experience, most recently at Golden Peak Media and iHeart Media. I am excited to bring my experience, passion, and creativity to the nonprofit world. I am an advocate to those who cannot advocate for themselves and am excited to be a part of such an impactful organization!

I first joined CASA in 2016 as a Volunteer where I served on two cases, then as a staff member in May 2018. I previously spent eight years working with child and adult survivors of family violence at The Crisis Center and Safe Shelter of St. Vrain Valley. I graduated from DePauw University with a B.A. in English Literature and Sociology. I live in Broomfield with my husband, two teenagers and two rescue dogs, Scout and Charlie. I love being in the mountains, reading, traveling, and relaxing with friends. I am inspired by our volunteers and feel optimistic for the future that they choose to work with our community’s most vulnerable children.

I joined CASA in June 2022 as the Peer Coordinator Administrator. I discovered my passion working with children when I began my career working as a nanny and an assistant at a daycare center. I spent the last four years working in the nonprofit sector, most recently at Children’s Hospital Colorado as the Volunteer Coordinator, where I helped launch and run the volunteer program. I am not only part of the staff, but I am a CASA Volunteer too. I work and volunteer for CASA because I believe every child deserves a stable, loving home where they can grow up and be happy.

I moved from Durango to Loveland in 1998 to raise my family where I began working in ministry and volunteering as a victim’s advocate. In 2006, I became a foster parent, served as parent educator, facilitator, and parenting time supervisor. All roads led to CASA for me! I’ve known since I was a foster parent that I wanted to be involved in some way and I  joined the staff in 2017. It’s a perfect blend of my understanding of the court system and experience as a facilitator. During the summer I split my free time between Loveland and Red Feather Lakes, where I have a small cabin.
