In this feature from Jessica Gibbs at The Denver Gazette, CDEC Executive Director Dr. Lisa Roy shares more about the lived experience she will bring to her role.
"Being a mother, and a stay-at-home mom, made child care unaffordable for me. Not having my degree by the time I was 22, that had its impacts. I would say that was my preliminary challenge.
Then I was working and going to school and raising three kids at the same time. So that was a challenge, but it didn’t keep me from moving forward and it made me even more committed to paying it forward for other families."
