Treasurer, Coaching Team
Anita has been one of our most active coaches of single moms. She herself was a single mom who had to get training in accounting and taxes in order to land a job that would support her and her two girls. She worked various administrative jobs using her newly learned skills and took H.R. Block courses on tax preparation. She worked for two consecutive CPA firms, and finally was focused on tax work, representing clients at IRS audits. She has been drawn to minister to single moms. She says "with the right kind of loving, Christ-centered support, hard work and some practical life and skills training, single moms can provide for themselves and their children."
