Shari has quickly developed a deep appreciation for the vital work of the Shalom Bayit team, which supports individuals experiencing physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as those healing from past trauma. In her current role as Program Administrator, she plays an integral part in ensuring the program runs smoothly, providing consistent support to both clinicians and clients. Her path reflects a strong commitment to the mission of JF&CS and a passion for helping others access meaningful, life-changing services.
