Laura Poundstone, Investigative Agent
“I started my career in residential settings for Hattie Larlham and Koinonia Homes. I worked at Cuyahoga Board of DD as an IA for five years prior teaching in multiple disabilities classrooms for 12 years in Cleveland Heights and Akron. At Summit DD, I am excited to learn more about providers and services offered in Summit County. My husband and I are the proud parents of three young adults. This fall will mark the last season we will have a son playing football at Mount Union after 6 years between our two boys. Our daughter attends Coastal Carolina so any chance to visit her is welcome because I never met a beach I didn’t like. I love getting out on all the trails our area has to offer. I enjoy listening to audiobooks as I drive and bake. I find joy in studying the bible.” – Laura Poundstone, Investigative Agent
Alyssa Roach, Accounting Associate
“I previously worked at Naturepedic in Chagrin Falls as their Accounts Payable Specialist. At Summit DD, I am really looking forward to getting to know and work with my new team. Furthermore, everyone that I’ve met here has been so welcoming and kind that I am excited to work with this organization. In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids. We like to go camping and kayaking. I also like to take daily walks with my two dogs.” – Alyssa Roach, Accounting Associate
Catherine Fry, Records Specialist
“Before coming to Summit DD, I worked at the Western Reserve Hospital Urgent Care & Occupational Medicine Center for the last 7 years. This is such a different environment than my last job in how it affects the surrounding community and I look forward to being a part of that. I am also so excited to be working with others that genuinely love their job and what they do here. In my free time I enjoy doing arts and crafts, taking my dog for walks & hikes, and baking. I recently joined Akron Roller Derby and am really enjoying being a part of that team!” – Catherine Fry, Records Specialist
