Ida Drury, PhD, MSW, has close to twenty years of experience in the human services field, most of which has been in a public child welfare setting. She has been a part of the Kempe team since 2015, where she has served multiple consulting and research projects including the Child Welfare Training System, the Capacity Building Center for States, and the Quality Improvement Center for Workforce Development. Prior to joining the Kempe Center, Ida was a research and data analyst for the Colorado Department of Human Services. Before that, she guided Colorado child welfare funding as the CAPTA administrator. She had the unique opportunity in 2009 to serve as project director for the Colorado Consortium on Differential Response, where she led a five-county research and implementation project to create and evaluate a Differential Response system in Colorado that continues today. Her early career was on the front line in Minnesota as a child welfare caseworker.

Ida received her bachelor of arts and social work at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. She earned her master of social work at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. She completed her Doctor of Philosophy at the School of Public Affairs at University of Colorado Denver in 2019.

Throughout my career journey, I have consistently worked to improve the lives of others and my communities. And my career has been a journey! Prior to entering the financial services sector, my contributions to Colorado’s Child Welfare system as a Compliance Investigator were critical to improvements in practice implementation, compliance, and outcomes for children and families. This experience came after many years as a county caseworker helping children and families who were involved in the same Child Welfare system.

I was drawn to becoming a Financial Advisor by recognizing the unmet needs that individuals, families, and businesses have in making informed decisions with their funds to achieve their version of financial wellness. As a result, I started Better Pockets Financial – alongside Josh – to continue making a positive impact on others.

The thread of commonality that links all my professional roles is my personal mission to make a positive impact on others, so they can subsequently foster their own positive impact on others, creating a community-level movement towards positive change! As such, I value building strength-based relationships, having candid conversations, comprehensive planning, and working cooperatively in a trustworthy manner.

I am a native of Colorado and have lived along the front range and mountain regions. I received a bachelor's degree in Social Work from Colorado State University (CSU) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Regis University. Additionally, I have obtained certifications from the Project Management Institute (PMI) and the American Society for Quality (ASQ).

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my amazing wife, Carla, our cockapoo dog, and extended family. My interests – which I am always happy to discuss – include restoring/driving classic automobiles, attending cars-n-coffee events, traveling domestically and globally, listening to a diverse selection of music, and experiencing other cultures. And, the mountains call to me regularly, so I look for opportunities to go fishing, hiking, camping, or exploring.

Outside of work, I volunteer with local non-profit organizations to give back to our community.
