For the past 13 years, her focus has been fundraising, development, and non-profit management. She comes to the YWCA from Lifetime Assistance, where for the last 10 years she has worked as the Associate Director of Day Services and as the Director of Development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has been happily married to Ryan Rada for 14 years and they were blessed with their beautiful little boy Aiden, four years ago.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her personal and professional goal has always been to support and improve the lives of our most vulnerable populations.
