One thing that sets DCCCA apart is that we are very creative. We have a lot of creative people working, a lot of people who come from a variety of backgrounds and they bring all of that together. As we begin to think about how to serve communities better, all of that flexibility and creativity and initiative all mix together and we usually come up with a pretty dynamite approach.

I count it a great privilege to work for DCCCA because I live for it. I believe in ‘Improving Lives,’ that is a short but powerful statement. I could not imagine working for any other company; I have not only witnessed DCCCA change the lives of so many families but it has played a major factor in where I am in my personal life of recovery.

DCCCA is a company on the move, we are growing and changing for the better every day. Administration really engages employees in this change and works with them to understand the intensity of feelings that accompany it. I love working with this ‘family,’ because that’s really the feeling we receive.

I enjoy the challenge of bringing together the excellence of client care that our CPA Specialists provide and the mechanics and meticulous detail involved in the business side of foster care. I continue to learn from others at DCCCA that so willingly share their knowledge and experience!!
