About Me
My name is Vicki and I am the director of Braver Steps. What drives me most is helping people regain independence and improve their quality of life — seeing someone achieve goals that matter to them, no matter how big or small, is the best part of my job. I live with my partner and daughter, and our cat Dotty!
