Fiona found her way to WAMM in 2018 answering a Volunteer Match ad and found a place for her mission-driven, task-oriented skill set. She also found friends. Fiona has a background working with vulnerable seniors, disabled people, and immigrants. She is the daughter of immigrants herself (Germany and Scotland) who came to the U.S. for better job opportunities in 1959. Her parents raised her to pay back the hospitality they received throughout their lives here. Fiona and Joe have been married 35 years. Some of you have met her daughter Erika and husband Dave at protests. Her other daughter Kendra thrives in the cold, building Ice Castles, Nordic skiing, camping and canoeing. And if you mention dogs, Fiona will talk your ear off about Klaus – the current doggo.
