This role offered me the opportunity to partner with a variety of people with diverse backgrounds and abilities. I've also worked as an art facilitator for older adults and people with various physical and/or mental disabilities at a Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) in Milwaukee. As an Art Facilitator, my goal is to offer a creative, engaging and safe place for people to have fun and to discover their creative potential.

More About Me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
Partnering means taking the time to listen and learn about what is important to you, including your interests and goals. We will work together to identify your strengths and identify what additional supports are needed for you to move forward toward achieving your goals.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
I enjoy learning about a person's skills, hobbies, and interests and then partnering together to create a map of how they can achieve their goals. Self-directed care can be a path to self-empowerment. Working with individuals, community, family, and friends on this path is a wonderful aspect of collaboration.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
My previous job roles as a case manager, art facilitator and job developer introduced me to a variety of individuals and experiences. I find great joy in collaborating with people and working with them on their journey toward advancing goals at home and within the community.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with friends and with my dog hiking, camping and walking along the Lake Michigan shoreline. I also enjoy reading, art and theater. When my schedule permits, I like to travel and visit new places.
