Staff

 I came to volunteer at HTCNE in 1985 when my first son was born.  Throughout the years, I have worked in each program but the medical teams abroad program has always been where my heart is.  I feel honored  to work with the greatest group of people- both medical team personnel, office staff, and Foreign hosts.  It is so rewarding to send these teams out and see the end-results in how many children we were able to help versus bringing in one child at a time.  The gratification is to see how our team changed their life! This organization has changed my life and I feel privileged to have such a rewarding job!

With a Masters Degree in Education, I spent seven years teaching – three years in Walden, NY and four years in Spangdahlem, Germany.  While living four years in Zaragoza, Spain, I taught English as a Second Language to Spanish military officers and their families.  I also taught English as a Second Language for the Connecticut Literacy Volunteers of America – teaching students from Colombia, Yemen, & France.  Since 2007, I have enjoyed working in Healing the Children’s International Inbound and Medical Trips Abroad programs.

Office update:

Katerina re-joins our staff a few days a week. Previously in 2006 – 2008 she worked on the Domestic Kids Program.  Now that her children are in school she is filling a void in the office by volunteering.
