Rachel was first introduced to NeighborLink in Fort Wayne, IN and was excited when a version was started in Indianapolis. She joined the Indianapolis team first as a volunteer for communications, then as a board member, next as a staff member and finally into her current role of Executive Director.

Jonathan came on board as the Director of Operations in early 2021. He's the one organizing the who, what, when, where that helps take down that to-do list of projects. In addition to working with NeighborLink Indianapolis, you'll also find him at New Circle Church as their Pastor of Community Groups.

Lisa joined NeighborLink in June 2020. With a background in healthcare and community engagement, her focus is on strengthening our volunteer engagement efforts while developing strategic partnerships to support our mission.

Tom comes to us after spending years with IndyReads helping their program grow. He is working to ensure our homeowners feel comfortable and knowledgeable about our process and the help we can provide.

Hailey is a recent graduate of Marian University with a degree in finance and a minor in accounting and communications. She is a ready advocate for those in need and is great a jumping in and lending a helping hand. When she's not volunteering or working, she's usually found outdoors or petting a dog.

Tom was recruited in 2014 after retiring from a career in the Defense Electronics field.  As an avid DIY-er, Tom was able to apply the skills he had learned over the years to help those served. Tom used his management experience to help establish our operational approach as well as working on individual projects. In his spare time, Tom likes to stay active on his bike in good weather and on the slopes in the snowy months.

Jeanette was recruited in 2014 and was able to bring her skills as a retired nurse and social worker who had worked with seniors. Jeanette found her niche with the home repair projects, leading teams of regular volunteers to help clear citation cases involving exterior paint. In addition to helping NeighborLink, Jeanette enjoys gardening, traveling and reading. She encourages volunteering with any opportunity that grabs you.

Dave saw a need and worked to fill a need. After retiring from a career in Information Technology at Eli Lilly, Dave started NeighborLink Indianapolis and being the sole handyman, volunteer and supporter to building the organization as it stands today serving hundreds of senior homeowners in Indianapolis.
