In this episode of #SupportVaKids, host Mariellen Keely talks with Tondra Boone, Administrative Staff Specialist to the CFO for the Division of Finance at the Virginia Department of Social Services. With nearly three decades in state service, Tondra shares her journey from her early roles in the field to her current position supporting the agency’s financial operations.

Tondra opens up about her roots in Southampton County, her life as a military spouse and mom, and the personal experiences that have shaped her dedication to public service. She reflects on the behind-the-scenes work that keeps programs running, the importance of adaptability, and why building strong relationships matters just as much in finance as it does in frontline service.

🎧 Tune in for a warm, personal conversation about service, resilience, and the people behind the numbers.
