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 a case manager for three years in a day program for adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities. It was very rewarding, but unfortunately the center closed. I then moved into a managed care organization. For nearly 10 years, I served people who were aging, adults with intellectual and/or physical disabilities, and those with mental health illnesses. This has given me extensive experience with helping people maintain as much independence as possible by helping them find the assistance they need.
