Verena Weinert is the mother of three school age children, two who happen to have Down syndrome. Originally from Germany, Verena has been actively involved with NCDSA since returning to North Carolina for a second time a few years ago. She is an integral part of NCDSA’s New and Expectant Parent Program and is a trained Parent Mentor. Verena spends hours on Zoom meetings with new parents, filling the void left by the isolation of the pandemic. She is also known for doing socially distanced “porch drops” of Welcome Baby Bags for our families. Verena is multilingual and is called upon to help bridge the communication gap on occasion. When not running a busy household, you can find Verena on the yoga mat, the tennis court, or the great outdoors, hiking, biking, and kayaking with her family. Thank you Verena!
