Deb is one of our seasoned staff and nationally recognized as an expert in adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH), training, and program implementation. She authored or contributed to some of the field’s top resources and has led ASRH initiatives across the country and close to home. Deb hooks audiences with engaging presentations and relevant, practical information. When you tap into her expertise, you won’t be disappointed!

As Director of our Capacity Building Department, Deb is thrilled to lead a solid team of professionals who shape our field every moment of the day, value everyone’s experiences, and infuse empathy into all their work.

When home, Deb is savoring every moment with her incredibly fun family—Scott, Audra, and Owen—and their ridiculously high-energy (and talkative) German Shorthaired Pointer, Olive Luna, and lovable (and bed hogging) Chocolate Lab, Maz (a.k.a., Chocolate Chunk, Mazzie Bear, and Mazzie Moose).
