Carolyn has been a proud member of the JPMorgan Chase family for over 45 years, serving in Human Resources with a focus on people-centered leadership and organizational integrity. In October 2010, she was invited by a colleague to volunteer with The Bridge For Community Services—and she never looked back.

For more than a decade, Carolyn has been a steadfast presence at the NW corner of 12th and Madison Avenue every Sunday morning, offering support and compassion to hundreds of individuals experiencing homelessness. Her commitment rarely wavered, with only a handful of absences until a health challenge in 2023.

Carolyn has served in multiple leadership roles at The Bridge, including Treasurer (current), President, Vice President, and Treasurer previously—each position earned through the trust and vote of her peers. Her financial acumen, organizational skills, and heart for service have helped sustain and grow the mission: “To provide a bridge of support and assistance through resources within the community.”

For Carolyn, service isn’t just something she does—it’s who she is. She finds joy in meeting people where they are and walking alongside them with dignity and care. After facing health challenges in 2023, her return to The Bridge is a testament to her resilience and deep gratitude for the opportunity to serve.
