years as a Director Child Care worker. In this role, she is responsible 
for assisting children with problem solving, life skills and conflict 
resolution.

Mrs. Adams-Fulton worked in the foster care system for eight years 
through a host agency, the Richard Allen Center on Life and Sheltering 
Arms Foster Care Agency. In both positions she was dedicated to making 
and ensuring children were protected and provided with a happy and safe 
beginning.
  Her leadership, dedication and communication skills have been 
recognized through receiving many certificates of appreciation.
  She obtained her Bachelor's of Science Degree from College of Human

Committee. In this role she is responsible for encouraging and 
supporting parents and promoting their involvement in their children's 
education and future.
  Mrs. Adams-Fulton enjoys spending her free time with her family and 
her circle of friends. Her role models are her grandmothers, Marion L. 
Adams and Emma Campbell. They instilled in her the importance of family 
and being responsible. In addition, she has a host of leaders that have
