Our Staff

Fay brings many years of experience working in DV/SA and has worn many hats throughout those years, even working for CWS in 2005! We are thrilled to welcome Fay and the extensive knowledge and passion she brings to this work to offer support to our co-located advocacy programs and community outreach.

Since 1998, Fay has been supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence. This includes operating emergency shelters, rapid re-housing programs, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and leading community-based services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Fay spent 14 years as an Executive Director at West Women’s and Children’s Shelter, Call to Safety, and most recently served as Program Director at Path Home.

Some of her most meaningful work has been working in collaboration to support survivors and increase safety on the following projects:

Women’s Housing Collaborative Permanent Supportive Housing project addressing the unique overlaps of survivors, those experiencing homelessness, and disabling conditions related to trauma exposure for both families and individuals.

New Day Collective offering confidential support, advocacy and housing for youth up to the age of 26 who have been impacted by sex trafficking, sex work, or survival sex.

Cash Transfer Program, where in collaboration with SEI, single parent households received $575 cash card per month for two years to address the unequal distribution of wealth among the Black community.

Fay is excited to return to Clackamas Women’s Services where she previously served as Children’s Program Coordinator in 2005. Time spent away from work is in her backyard with her family, dogs, and friends. Tending to the garden and listening to music support her trauma resiliency. She also takes every opportunity to be among the trees or swimming in the waters of the Pacific Northwest.
