Meet Marie

“‘Lovely Day’ by Bill Withers has become a sort of anthem for special occasions at New Directions. Nothing better than seeing my director of group living on the microphone with all of our staff and children dancing and singing at the top of their lungs. These moments capture the resilience of our residents and the love and passion New Directions staff bring to their work.”
