I spent half my career working in nonprofit leadership and development and half working in higher education advancement, so leading the Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund felt like a natural next step in blending the two halves of my career. ASPSF provides scholarships and wraparound support to single parents pursuing higher education and a better life for their families.
