Meet the Staff
Kelly Athey
Site Director
I earned my degree from Radford University in sociology and brought with me to Embrace more than a decade of experience working with children in the community setting. I am married and have three beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and also love to read when I can find the time. I am passionate about giving back to the community I grew up in, helping children and families in the process.
Charlesetta Mells
Foster Parent Coordinator
My passion is helping others. When not working, I can be found reading a book or watching a good movie. "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
Angela Edmonds
Executive Director
I was excited to find my home with ncgCARE in March of 2010. I have been a long-time athlete, participating in softball, lacrosse and cheerleading since I was 8 years old. I continue to have a passion for fitness and enjoy running in races and competing in physique shows through the National Physique Committee. I have been happily married to the man of my dreams since 2012 and confidently exclaim that my biggest accomplishments in life are my sons.
