Meet Our Staff

Born in Bogota, Colombia Myriam immigrated to the United States as a child. She spent most of her formative years in the Northern Virginia area, going through the Arlington County Public School system. She was very lucky to grow up in such a vibrant and diverse community and it shaped the person she is today.

In the 1990’s Myriam helped start and grow a family business, and is grateful to have been part of an amazing company where she had the opportunity to learn and develop her skills. Ten years later she took an opportunity in the nonprofit field and although it only lasted one year, a new interest was sparked. Myriam spent the next stage of her career working in support of the Department of Defense and the Department of State eventually leaving to start a family.

In 2019 her family moved to the Stafford area, and she was fortunate to find Stafford Junction for her entry back into the workforce. Myriam fell in love with the organization, its mission, and the people they serve.  She has over 20 years of experience as an administrative professional, and is looking forward to igniting that passion for nonprofit work once again as the Executive Director of this incredible organization. She is grateful to have the opportunity to continue serving those in need in our community.

A native of Stafford County, Gail graduated from Stafford Senior High School and James Madison University with a BS in Communication Arts/Data Processing.
