Meet Cheri:
I am married to Scott and I am a mom to 3 girls. Our middle daughter has Down syndrome and was a surprise diagnosis at birth. I currently work part-time as the accountant at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Marion, IA. In my free time I enjoy attending my children's sporting events, exercise, cooking, decorating, shopping, and my two dogs!! :) We were excited to learn about HADSA and became active in the group shortly after getting settled in CR and have found it a great way to meet other people who were walking the same path in life. I’m proud to be a part of the HADSA board. |
Meet Lisa:
My husband Eric and I have two boys; Dax and Chase. I am an occupational therapist, but have been staying home the last few years to be with my children. I have been involved with HADSA since Dax was born, however I am new to the board this last year. Dax underwent an open heart surgery at birth due to a coarctation of the aorta and currently has a PEG tube for nutrition, so if I can offer any insight in these areas, please don’t hesitiate to send me an email. |
Meet Jill:
I, along with my husband Chad, are originally from Danville, IL. I work at Virginia Gay Hospital in Vinton, IA as a Physician Assistant in the ER and hospitalist. Chad and I have two daughters; Charlie who is blessed with Down syndrome and Ruby. Charlie’s diagnosis is what fuels my involvement in HADSA. As a family we enjoy traveling and outdoor activities. |

Meet Lindsey:
I grew up in Fairbank, a small town in NE Iowa. All the way through school, I had a passion for kids and teaching. I graduated High School a semester early and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go to Florida for a few months to nanny for a family friend. When I came home from Florida, I attended Hawkeye Community College for General Studies with the intent of moving on to Early Childhood Education. Along the way, I decided I did not, in fact, want to spend the rest of my life in a school. I decided to leave Hawkeye and attend LaJames International College in Cedar Falls to learn how to do hair. My cosmetology career took me down many roads I never thought I would get to travel, one of those roads included teaching in the cosmetology schools and for continuing education classes. Another allowed me to work for myself in a salon. In the end, all roads led me to a love for simply helping people. Ironically, that newly discovered love has now taken me out of the cosmetology business and in to hospitality. I currently work at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center as a Revenue and Marketing Coordinator as well as doing some respite care for a family blessed by Down Syndrome. The later of the two presented me with the opportunity to work with all of you. I am so happy to add Program Coordinator for this wonderful organization to my daily life, and look forward to all the wonderful things that we continue to do for the community! |
