She has been an employee of SCO Family of Services for Thirty-three years.

With corporate contacts, volunteers and donors she has provided Christmas for hundreds of children and adolescents every year, arranged trips and special outings, and recently, working with the Garden of Dreams foundation, she has even enabled some of our children to perform at Radio City Music Hall.
In addition to all of this Sioban has worked with volunteers, putting together highly successful events that have raised funds to support programs across the agency. Her success in this area is a direct result of the passion she has for the children and families she services.
