CASA Board Member Spotlight: Miranda Wyles

CASA Board Member Miranda Wyles

Miranda Wyles first got involved with CASA of Lexington when the nonprofit expanded to serve Bourbon County in 2017. As a board member, she has helped guide further growth and expansions to additional counties. She has also helped with CASA events such as Camp CASA, Bourbon and the Bayou and the CASA Superhero Run.

"I love volunteering at our events!" she said. "It's hard to have a favorite."

Wyles, who has been a financial advisor with Edward Jones for the past 15 years, said she knows that children in her own community need help, which is why CASA volunteers are so important.

"It's hard to imagine children in our own communities experiencing abuse and neglect ... we don't see it," she said. "CASA of Lexington is changing lives daily. Our CASA volunteers and staff are so amazing and I'm grateful to serve on the board to contribute in some way."

Wyles enjoys traveling with her family, spending time on her family farm and gardening in her free time.

Wyles said she is deeply grateful to every one of CASA of Lexington's volunteers.

"What you do is hard, but it is SO important," she said. "You are supported, cared about, and you are making such a difference in the life of a child."
