More About Me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
I will work with you to learn about you and your goals so that we can work together to create an individualized care plan that will best fit your needs and help you achieve your goals.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
I'm a big believer in self-directed care because it allows a person to remain as independent as possible and allows them to take control of their life and supports. Helping people to achieve their goals while remaining independent and living their life to the fullest is very rewarding and fulfilling.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
Working with Goodwill's Supported Employment Program gave me a lot of experience and knowledge about working with people with disabilities. Working with My Choice Family Care's Long Term Care program has helped provide me with experience and skills that I will be able to transfer over and use as an IRIS Consultant such as partnering with people to help develop care plans and connect people with resources.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I am an avid reader and enjoy exploring new worlds and meeting new people through books. I also enjoy spending quality time playing with my pets and will often go on long walks with them when the weather permits. Despite living in Milwaukee my whole life, I still find myself exploring new places and activities that Milwaukee has to offer.
