Meet Wendy,

Wendy is a founding member of Cherish serving as Executive Director since 2009. Previously a nonprofit/corporate consultant for stabilizing business practices and development of new business. Wendy’s nonprofit business focus evolved after a corporate career in the emerging technology industry became less fulfilling than her work volunteering in community development endeavors. Wendy feels Cherish and the organization’s role in protecting children has been one of the most challenging and important callings of her career life. Wendy graduated with a Bachelor’s from Purdue University with a concentration in Clinical Psychology and Business and a Master’s in Business Management. Wendy is QMRP/CDDP certified and has worked as an advocate for mentally and developmentally diverse children for over twenty- five years. Wendy’s nonprofit business credentials and experience combined with over 10 years of specialized training in Child Forensic Interviewing, abuse prevention, and intervention are key competencies as the Director of a Nationally Accredited Child Advocacy Center.
