My involvement with the Cerutti Family Foundation grew from a desire to support my family— sister-in-law to Tim, my sister Barb, and my niece Maggie—as well as Mike’s family and the values we share. I have spent decades as an educator at Logan University, where I have also supported scholarship review processes. Being able to contribute to the Cerutti Family Foundation’s scholarship efforts brings me great joy, knowing these opportunities can be truly life-changing for students and empowering for the educators who continually strive to grow for the benefit of those they teach.

Beyond the foundation, I support other nonprofit organizations through teaching and advising. I’m guided by a strong belief in mentoring the next generation. We often say it takes a village to raise a child, and I believe it also takes a community to educate one. I’m grateful to be part of the Parkway community through this foundation and to contribute in a way that supports both students and educators.

Outside of my volunteer work, I enjoy kayaking, gardening with native plants, and spending time with friends and family.
