Donna is the Executive Assistant for the WCSAP Executive Director. Her responsibilities include supporting the WCSAP Board of Directors, Lobby Day, Annual Conference and recently her passion, Membership. Donna has a background in management, human resources and Executive level support. She is a mother to four sons and grandmother of eight. Donna is biracial: Japanese and Caucasian.

Donna began working with WCSAP in March of 2010. At that time, her awareness of DV & SA was limited. She quickly learned she was a Woman of Color, a survivor of DV, and had internalized racial inferiority. WCSAP became the place where she grew in awareness of DV, SA, Racism and social justice. She developed her knowledge at the coalition while under several leaderships and prides herself in her ongoing evolution in these areas. 

Donna is journaling her mother's immigration to America as a war bride. Over the years, Donna has been revisiting her Japanese heritage and has some favorite Japanese Zen Philosophies for healing: Wabi Sabi and Kintsugi.
