Today, her dream is to reach as many children around the world as possible by building a world class organization for helping children.

Meet the Business Owner: Deborah M.
A Lifelong Committment to Serving Children & Their Families... I grew up in Chicago, surrounded by people who cared for children. My father is a pediatric surgeon, my mom is a social worker, and my brother is a pediatric neurologist. So it was a natural choice for me to dedicate my life to kids, too. My undergraduate work was in psychology, and then received a master's degree in occupational therapy at Rush University. I've worked tirelessly for the past decade to build a team who shares my committment and vision. I could not be happier with our group. They have incredible experience, also happen to be some of the kindest, most caring people I've had the pleasure to know. Our administrative team is also dedicated to our mission to make this a happier world, one child at a time. Your feedback is very important to me, and I will never stop listening and learning from our clients.
