Katrina Scoville     Donor Engagement and Events Specialist, Development 

Katrina comes to the Development group with many years of philanthropy experience. She worked in DC for a few years, then in returning to the area she worked for Cotter Schools and then St. Mary’s before staying home to raise her kids. Oh, and also worked on campaigns for a few non-profits and is wrapping up one project while joining FCC. Katrina is an area native, and if she looks familiar it may be because she was a Buffalo Chip Throwing Champion as a youngster!

And is looking forward to working with young clients in Day Treatment. Sadie is an Onalaska native, and will be getting married in Vegas this November.

Anthony learned about FCC on Indeed and is completing his degree in Psychology, with a certificate in Substance Abuse Counseling. He is a Staff Sargent in the Wisconsin National guard where he has already accumulated 7 years of services and is signed up for another 6 years.
