Children's Oncology Camping Association International

Most of my experience with board service has been on the staff side as Executive Director, but I do serve on committees when possible including at my daughters’ school and at Postpartum Support Charleston. I’m excited to take on a more hands‐on role with COCA‐I! Since 2014 I have coordinated and implemented camps each summer for more than 200 children dealing with many serious illnesses. Our camp for children with brain tumors is near and dear to my heart, as is our hospital programming where we are able to serve the whole family in a stressful setting. In my tenure, we have lost campers and been able to provide lasting memories to their families from their camp experiences. I am proud that we provide safe, inclusive, and free access to camp for all children who would otherwise miss this critical childhood milestone.
