VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS -
SOUTH, EAST AND MID-CITY REGIONS
We want every person who walks through our doors to feel seen, welcome and like they belong here — no matter their age, background or fitness level. Cameron Family YMCA is a hub for connection and support, with programming that meets people where they are in their health and life journey. Families gather here, friendships grow, and people show up for one another.
This Y becomes part of people’s daily lives. Parents connect on the pool deck, teens build confidence, and older adults find community. People can recharge mentally and emotionally, not just physically. That sense of belonging is what truly sets us apart.
I was drawn to the Y because of its mission to strengthen the spirit, mind and body for all. Every day we see the impact. Watching a child gain confidence in the water, seeing someone achieve a health goal they never thought possible, or simply witnessing the relationships that form within our walls — that’s what keeps me here.
