Message from our Founder & Executive Director
Hello, Philadelphia!
If you've found your way to this website, I hope you arrived with a sense of hope and a spirit of resilience. I understand that the challenges you’re facing right now may feel overwhelming, but know this—there is light ahead. My goal, and the mission of Linked Family Services (LFS), is to help you find that spark. By taking this first step toward advocating for yourself and your family, you’ve already shown incredible strength, and that is something to be celebrated!
Throughout my career in child welfare and human services, I have had the privilege of creating meaningful connections for children and families across Philadelphia. From hosting support groups and organizing family events to coordinating resource fairs, my work has always been centered on empowering families with the tools and support they need to thrive.
This work is deeply personal to me. I know firsthand the challenges of supporting a family on a limited income, the frustration of navigating complex mental and behavioral health systems for a loved one, and the discouragement of being denied essential services because of a technicality on a pay stub. These experiences have fueled my passion for advocacy and action.
I have been fortunate to merge my background in social work with my entrepreneurial aspirations to help families build healthy, sustainable relationships. My dedication extends beyond family support—I am committed to workforce development and creating pathways to employment, ensuring that individuals have the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to achieve financial stability and long-term success.
At LFS, we believe in your potential, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Welcome—you belong here.
