Debbie believes that every person should contribute positively to the community they live in and when the opportunity to be on the NCH board became available, she was excited to join. Debbie is drawn to help kids who come from hard places, and as she learns more about what NCH accomplishes with the children who live there, she knows this is the best place for them to learn and grow.

As the Director of Residence Life (student housing) at Lewis-Clark State College, Debbie understands what it is like to run a 24/7/365 program including hiring, supervising, behavioral issues, and facilities maintenance. Debbie is originally from Massachusetts and has a bachelor's degree in psychology and an MBA from Fitchburg State College in Massachusetts. Debbie lives in Clarkston, WA with her husband and their 3 teenage children. This is Debbie’s 2nd year as a NCH Board member.
