I first met Leslie and was immediately struck by her passion for serving seniors and the meaningful work SOAR is doing in the Frederick community. Inspired by that mission, I joined the volunteer shopping program in 2025. Having lived in Frederick for the past 10 years and worked in healthcare serving seniors throughout that time, I have developed a deep commitment to supporting older adults. Through my volunteer experience, I was grateful for the opportunity to join the SOAR staff, where I now continue that work in an even greater capacity. I am truly excited to serve the Frederick community alongside such a dedicated team. Outside of work, I am a proud mom and grandmother who cherishes time spent with family and friends.

Maggie serves as the Development Coordinator, bringing a strong commitment to strengthening resources through supporting development, fundraising, and grant acquisition for SOAR. She enjoys working in the nonprofit sector and is dedicated to supporting seniors in need. Her work focuses on assisting with securing essential funding to ensure that SOAR’s vital programs continue to serve those in Frederick County who rely on them.
