She has spent her whole career partnering with and advocating for young children and their families. She is committed to supporting justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our work.

Clarissa has a wealth of experience in both direct service provision and in leading major federal, state, and local initiatives designed to improve outcomes for children and families. She led MICA’s involvement in the White House Rural Council’s Rural Impact initiative, coordinated extensive disaster recovery efforts for Marshalltown families after the 2018 EF3 tornado, and co-created MICA’s premier summer learning program, Bobcat University.

Clarissa’s vision of MICA’s work is strengths-based, seamlessly connected service provision in which there is truly no wrong door for families. Recently, she has been focused on building agency capacity, creating a data-driven culture, and integrating services across the spectrum to provide a coordinated approach grounded in the whole family framework.
