About Us

Joscelyn is an accomplished nonprofit executive with more than 12 years of experience advancing housing stability, homelessness prevention, and trauma-informed care. She currently serves as Vice President of the Empowerment Division at RiseBoro Community Partnership in Brooklyn, NY, where she leads a multi-program division overseeing a $14M portfolio and a team of more than 130 staff serving highly vulnerable populations. Earlier in her career, she directed programs and community partnerships at the NYC Mayor’s Office to End Domestic & Gender-Based Violence. She holds an MSW from Fordham University and is relocating to the Baltimore area to take on this role.

Joscelyn’s selection follows an extensive search led by Good Insight, an executive search firm with deep expertise in nonprofit leadership transitions. Throughout the process, she distinguished herself with her systems-oriented leadership, her deep commitment to trauma-informed, equity-centered practice, and her alignment with Marian House’s mission and identity as a co-sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Mercy and the School Sisters of Notre Dame.

As Marian House marks more than four decades of helping women move from dependence to independence, we are confident that Joscelyn’s leadership will build on that legacy while positioning us for continued growth and impact across Baltimore.
