Location & Experience
Other Experience:
Prior to becoming an IRIS Consultant, I worked for a Comprehensive Community Services program for about two years. I have extensive experience with supporting adult individuals with a variety of mental illnesses, cognitive and developmental disabilities, substance abuse concerns, etc. This experience plays a big role in what IRIS Consultants do and before coming to TMG, I was an IRIS Consultant for the Midstate Independent Living Choices ICA. I was able to connect participants with the services they identified in their LTC outcomes such as DVR/Project Search for employment, youth in transition, home modifications, budget amendments and one-time expenses, etc. I am passionate and driven to work with individuals so they can live their lives how they want but ensuring that their needs and goals are met.
