Brittany MacPherson
Volunteer Coordinator In 2006, I received my Master's in Clinical Psychology from Brenau University and began working as a child and adolescent therapist. After hearing about the CASA Superhero 5K, I began looking into becoming a CASA and I was hooked. I was sworn in May 2013 and came on as staff in December. My favorite part of being a CASA has been seeing children find their forever homes. I love being in the courtroom and assisting our spectacular volunteers. Working with CASA truly is my favorite job ever! |

Jude RedBear
Volunteer Coordinator After working with children in many different capacities over the years and having had children and adopted children of my own, I felt led to play a role in assisting and impacting the lives of children. For me, it is a calling to do this work with CASA. I am continually drawn to helping these children who are suffering from the effects of abuse and neglect. It is a great honor to be a part of Piedmont CASA and assist children during this difficult transitional time as we work to help them achieve permanency. |

Cameren Jones
Volunteer Coordinator I'm a Georgia transplant originally from the DMV area. I graduated with my Masters in Human Services with a specialization in Social and Community Services from Capella University. I previously worked for a private Foster Care Agency for roughly four and a half years before joining the CASA program in 2016. Originally starting with the Fulton County CASA Program, I was there for two and a half years before venturing off with a lateral move to Piedmont CASA. It gives me such satisfaction to be apart of the CASA organization. CASA is the only organization that can be consistently present, submit a report and heard in court, continuously making a difference in the best interest of our children in care. What can be more self rewarding than that! Helping others is what I love and was called to do! |

Ashleigh Bentley
Program Assistance Ashleigh is a graduate of The University of Georgia with a Bachelors of Science in Animal Science and Agribusiness. She has ridden horses since she was 8 years old and has always loved animals. Recently, she wanted to find a volunteer program to volunteer with, but didn't know what to do. After searching on the internet and finding CASA, she knew that would be perfect. After volunteering for 2 years, she was able to come on staff, and never wants to leave. She loves spending time with foster kids and knowing she is making a difference in the lives of foster children. |
