More About Me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
Partnering means working together to develop a plan that supports you in living the life you want to live. First I spend time listening to you, so that I can understand what is important to you and what things are difficult for you. Then we will work together to develop a plan that you are happy with to achieve your goals.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
I believe that every person should have the opportunity to live the life that they have dreamed about. It is exciting and rewarding to meet people, listen to their hopes, dreams and life stories, then help them to create a plan that will provide them with the supports they need to live the life that they choose to live.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
My education provided me with a foundation but the years that I have spent sitting at the kitchen table with people listening to their stories, the struggles and the achievements, has provided me with a deeper understanding about how to help people understand and access the services that are available to help them be successful.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
First and foremost, I enjoy spending time with my family doing things like riding ATV, fishing and sitting around a camp fire. In the evenings I enjoy crafts such as knitting, scrapbooking and counted cross stitch.
