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.

More about me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
I work with people by learning about all of their wants and needs, and then I find options that could work for their situation and help them live their best life possible.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
I enjoy being an IRIS Consultant because I get to help people achieve the independent lifestyle that they want and deserve.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
Before working for TMG, I worked for nearly 20 years placing people in jobs that best suited them. Four of those years were dedicated to placing people with disabilities in jobs in their chosen fields. I also worked with Family Care for almost a year, where I helped set up necessary services for the people using Family Care.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I have twins that keep me very busy. One of my children has disabilities, so I have been fortunate enough to have not just professional experience in working with people with disabilities, but also personal experience. We like to travel, play games, go to the park, swim listen to music and laugh. When I have time, I enjoy reading and music.
