JESSICA TAGLER
Summary
Although I have enjoyed working with children through the Department of Social Services for the past 11 years, I am most passionate about advocating for women in crisis. By utilizing my first hand experience with the adoption process I hope to serve this population with empathy and excellence while remaining unbiased.
