Care Responsibilities
Your TMG IRIS consultant is your partner as you create a plan that meets your needs and stays within your IRIS budget. Your TMG IRIS consultant can connect you to resources in your area, and will be a great source of information for any questions you have about the IRIS program. In a self-directed program like IRIS, you decide who provides your support and services and when they happen. You may have natural support from people in your life, or you may choose to purchase the support you need from an agency or someone that you hire directly. Your TMG IRIS consultant will be there to talk through these decisions with you, and will help you put a plan in place that reflects your choices.

Specialties (e.g., working with autism, the elderly, employment for people with disabilities or

Prior to coming to TMG, I spent over 20 years in healthcare. In the last 14 years, I supervised group homes for adults with disabilities. I understand the unique needs required for finding the right staff and working with people who have various medical needs including GI tubes. I also understand the cares and needs of the people I partner with, their families and the care providers.

More about me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
I partner with people by first listening to what is important to them than seeing what we can do to clear the path ahead so that they can reach their goals.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
My favorite thing about being an IRIS Consultant is that I get to assist the people I partner with as they work towards meaningful goals in their lives, no matter how big or small. I don’t look at things as obstacles, but rather I focus how to accomplish goals working with current situation at hand.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
As someone with 20 years of experience in the health field, I strived to showcase the highest level of quality and professionalism with the people I partner with. This includes making sure all needs are met – from documentation to getting out in to the community as every aspect improves quality of life.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. Football season in my house is a pretty big deal as there are two Packer fans, a Patriot fan, a Texans fan, a Cowboy fan (family vote was to not remove him from the family entirely) and one who doesn't even care about football (not sure how that happened.) Needless to say I have to plan Sunday meals around several games during football season.
