NorthStar Center, the Oregon-based transitional living program for young adults seeking drug and alcohol recovery support, is pleased to announce new Admissions Director, Chesley Strowd.

Chesley received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Mississippi. She has worked with families in crisis and in the public relations and marketing fields. Prior to joining NorthStar, Chesley worked closely with families and professionals for nearly six years at a therapeutic boarding school. Her volunteer experience includes working with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.
