Wendy Seignemartin
Development Coach, Alliance
MSW
Wendy started her career in social work at the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery, first as a house
parent, and then as a family support specialist. This job ignited Wendy’s interest in working with
children and their families, which has been her passion since.
In 2006, she started working for Children’s Administration (now DCYF) as a Child and Family
Welfare Services worker. During her time at DCYF, Wendy worked primarily in CFWS but also
had some time working in placement and in Family Assessment Response. In 2015, Wendy was
promoted to CFWS supervisor, where she spent the last 7 years prior to moving to the Alliance.
Wendy has been an active member of the Spokane Parent Advocacy Network since 2016 and a
part of planning Reunification Day events in the Spokane area since this time. Wendy strongly
believes in the SPAN motto that “People Change, Families Reunite.”
Wendy has a Bachelor of Science degree in Development Psychology and earned her MSW
through the CWTAP program in 2017.
