Hi! I'm Meghann Dobey the Director of Parent Engagement with 4 Sisters. I'm a native Floridian born and raised in the Tampa Bay Area. I still live there with my family and my two cats. I spend my spare time reading, going to the beach, swimming and snorkeling, traveling to North Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina, and hiking in the mountains. 

I am a graduate of St. Petersburg College and the University of South Florida. I went to college specifically to work with children and families and I have a passion for reunification and seeing kids go home with their biological parents. This is my dream job and I'm happy to be here to support parents and their kids any way I can. There is nothing I love more than seeing reunifications happen! 

Hi! I’m Michael Forster, the Director of Mission at 4 Sisters Solutions. I grew up in Pinellas County, attending elementary school through college here. I’m passionate about building a system that will improve child welfare and excited to see how 4 Sisters will positively impact the families we support.

I hold a degree in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University, a bachelor's in Psychology from the University of South Florida, and an MBA from USF as well.

In my free time, I love going to Disney, reading, exploring new food spots, and practicing photography. I also love to travel and have a goal to visit all 50 states. At home, I have one cat, Elliott, who is completely spoiled.

My name is Rhesa Tice, and I am a native Floridian, having been born and raised in the County of Dade. I have been in the Child Welfare field for approximately twenty years, having become certified as a Child Protection Professional in 2002 and as a Child Welfare Case Manager Supervisor (CWCM-S) in 2009. During that time, I have served as a Child Protective Investigator, Child Advocate/Case Manager, Placement Counselor, Case Manager Supervisor, Dependency Program Manager, Dependency Program Director and Licensing Compliance Manager for Specialized Therapeutic Foster Care homes. I have over ten years of supervisory/managerial experience and am also a member of the Florida CIRRT (Critical Incident Rapid Response Team).

I believe in giving back to the community via participation in food and clothing distribution/drives for the needy through my church and involvement in other local organizations and I also mentor other child welfare professionals.

I am a lover of music, reading and traveling/cruising as well as an AVID fan of both college and professional football. (#TeamFSU & #TeamColts)

My name is Sarah and I live with my ahhhhhmazing husband and son. We love to go on adventures (road trips) as a family and just spend the days together (doing absolutely nothing). My family is my favorite thing and my greatest accomplishment! We love to watch hockey and college football!

I attended the University of Central Florida (Go Knights) where I earned my Sociology degree and participated in social research! I started my child welfare career as a volunteer guardian ad litem and decided after a year and a half that case management was the way to go! I moved into a case manager role for Lake/Sumter County Florida and fell in love with helping the families we served. After 2 years of case management, I entered the leadership circle as a supervisor where I helped to reunify dozens of families. In 2021, I shifted gears to learn the adoption process of child welfare and worked to find children their forever home. In 2022, I became an Assistant Program Director for child welfare in Lake/Sumter County where I was able to oversee multiple units and assist in bringing children back on safely. I love working with the families we serve and promote reunification as quickly and safely as possible.

My name is Amanda Martinez and I live in Winter Haven Fl with my husband and 7 children. My youngest being one and oldest being 18.

My family is unique as we have adopted children, bonus and biological children. My children keep me very busy between playing all kinds of sports including special Olympics. I am a very patient and kind person as my son we adopted with severe autism has taught us so much about patience and love. I have been working in child welfare since before I obtained my BSW in Social Work as I started off my career as being a mentor for children aging out of foster care. Once I graduated, I became a case manager, Case manager Supervisor and then worked in Foster Care Licensing and FC referrals. Child Welfare is my passion as I have always been an advocate for over the last 16 years. I come with a lot of lived experience as I was raised in foster care, aged out, became a caregiver and adoptive parent and a social worker. I am very excited and thankful to have begun my career with 4Sisters where I can be an advocate and help preserve families.

Hello, my name is Jessica Eickstedt and I am originally from Michigan and currently live in northern Florida. I have been involved with child welfare for over 15 years. My passion is helping families and I wish for every family to achieve the safest level of permanency for those children. 

My name is Kimberly Harvey, and Child Welfare is my passion. I was born in Washington DC, but I consider myself a Floridian after living here for most of my life. I have a Master’s Degree in Criminology and Social Work from the great Florida State University. I have worked in Child Welfare for 16 years, as a Case Manager, Supervisor and Trainer. What has kept me in working in the system is my recognition of the good work that we strive to do while at the same time acknowledging the areas of improvement needed to have better outcomes for children and families. I strongly believe in advocacy for those who do not always have the capacity or understanding of how to advocate for themselves. I truly believe this is a calling for me, not just a profession.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my daughter and seeing the world through her eyes. I love theme parks, cruises, and anything Disney or Marvel.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to support and advocate for parents on their journey to reunification in my role as a Permanency Primer with 4 Sisters Solutions, where my main focus is to ensure that parents have all the tools needed to provide a safe and stable home for their children.
