Prior to coming to TMG, I worked for a non-profit organization, where I managed community programs. I also worked as a Case Manager for Range Mental Health and was a direct support worker for individuals with developmental disabilities. I was an assistant program manager and a direct support supervisor for nearly seven years at Child and Family Support Services. We supported individuals with mental health or behavior health needs. I also was a foster care licensing specialist and trainer for three years. I also have a certified nurse’s assistant (CNA) license.

How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
I appreciate getting to know people and hearing about their life. I value using creativity, and even at times humor, to create an environment that we can both grow in. Partnership is building trust and knowing that I'm dependable to assist you in reaching your goals. I look forward to partnering with you, and being resourceful and learning together.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
I think self-directed care is important. It gives people a voice and allows them to be heard. I love working with all types of people and helping them achieve what's important to them. Helping someone see what could be available to them to, to even see dreams fulfilled, is a part of what makes me smile everyday.

I enjoy spending time with my family. I love adventures and taking pictures. I love travelling. I love trying new recipes and cooking. I like watching movies and going on outdoor bike rides when the weather is nice. I enjoy true crime podcasts.
