Cortney Wheeler

Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. Eager to solve professional challenges utilizing interpersonal expertise, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.

While working an office job in Aiken, I volunteered to become a Guardian ad Litem (GaL) for South Carolina. I drove all over the state to visit children in foster care to better represent their desires and needs in the courtroom. This position was time consuming, challenging, emotionally draining and one of the most fulfilling and incredible experiences of my life to date.

I later gave up my post as a GaL to become a single foster mom while living in SC. During that 2 year period I fostered 4 teenage girls, a 4 year old girl and 1 teenage female emergency placement. I hope to become another pivotal part of the foster care community here in Georgia if given the opportunity.
