Although Rosemary is not originally from Cleveland, she is proud to call it home and appreciates being part of a community that embraces art, culture, and diversity. After moving to Cleveland, she began her journey at the Children’s Museum of Cleveland, where she applied her background in early childhood education. She quickly became involved with various organizations dedicated to championing the needs of children.

Understanding that children and youth must have their social and emotional needs met in order to learn and grow, Rosemary is excited to be part of Cleveland Angels, where this principle is central to their programs. As a mother of three young adult children, Rosemary's family has joined her in many causes she has supported over the years, assisting with events and logistics. She also serves on the boards of Friends of Cain Park and Mobius, two organizations focused on community and the arts in Cleveland Heights.

When she isn't working, she enjoys spending time outdoors, preparing locally inspired meals, and staying connected with her children as they embark on their adventures.

Her personal connection to foster care, which comes from her extended family's experience with fostering and adopting children, has deeply influenced her. This emotional investment, along with her passion for children and her skills, has led her to Cleveland Angels, where she is eager to make a difference.
