Our Dedicated Staff

Carol earned her undergraduate degree in Urban Studies from Fordham University and later completed her MBA at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. Having lived in both Colorado and New York — including six years in the Bronx — she brings a rich, wide-ranging perspective to her work.

She has been part of Our House almost since its very beginning, and what she treasures most is the uniqueness of every individual we serve. For Carol, no two days and no two people are ever the same, and that is exactly what makes this work so meaningful.

A proud Colorado native, Kayla brings more than ten years of experience working alongside the intellectual and developmental disability community. She grew up on her family’s farm and was active in 4-H, an upbringing that instilled a deep sense of responsibility and care.

Her adventurous spirit has taken her around the world — she has worked as a ranch hand in Scotland and taught English and coached tennis in Greece. That same energy and heart is what she pours into her work every day.

Originally from Pennsylvania, Valerie’s greatest passion is people. She is a fierce and tireless advocate for the individuals we serve, always working to ensure they are seen, heard, and supported.

Her commitment to advocacy and genuine connection makes her an invaluable part of the Our House family.

Born and raised in the California Bay Area, Madeline moved to Colorado in 2017. She holds a degree in Psychology from Sonoma State University, with a focus on Behavioral Therapies.

It was through her studies and hands-on experience that she discovered her passion for working with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities — a passion that continues to guide her work at Our House.
