It's time to meet the staff! Next up, meet our Program Specialist: Carolyn Ettinger, LMHP.

"Throughout my life, I have been able to find work that reflected personal life experiences. After my mom died, I worked in hospice; after my son was born prematurely, I worked in the field of disabilities. Eight years after a personal cancer diagnosis, I began work at Wings of Hope Cancer Support Center. I have enjoyed utilizing both my professional skills and personal experience to assist other people on the cancer journey. One of the best parts of this job for me has been the freedom to develop programs as needs arise in the cancer community. And I have met so many special people over the years at Wings of Hope – people who struggle, who persevere, who heal. I continue to learn from each person I meet."
