Specialties (e.g., working with autism, the elderly, employment for people with disabilities or
youth in transition, mental health, experience with assisted technology)
Prior to coming to TMG, I worked as an Economic Support Specialist for 15 years determining eligibility and benefits for public assistance programs such as FoodShare, BadgerCare, Child Care and Energy Assistance (WHEAP). I also worked for Lutheran Social Services as a Case Manager for the PATHS Program working with young adults who were either homeless or transitioning from foster care to living on their own. These experiences have provided me with extensive knowledge regarding community resources and working with a diverse population.
