More about me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
Listening and getting to know someone is important to me. I want to understand what your goals in life are and help you build a plan to make them happen.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
I like that IRIS gives the people enrolled in the program control by allowing them to choose how their budget is spent. I want to help people feel empowered to make decisions that let them lead full and meaningful lives.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
My past experience includes working for two years as a care manager for Family Care in Dane County, where I served people with disabilities and older adults. Prior to that, I worked for a vocational agency for seven years as a job coach and case manager. I have also provided direct support to individuals with physical and developmental disabilities, as well as older adults. My experiences in providing case management and direct service make me well suited to be your TMG IRIS Consultant.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, as well as cooking and getting outside to enjoy nature.
