More About Me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
I will listen, respond, engage, advise, encourage, assist, guide, educate, inform, inspire, motivate, cooperate, and believe that life's road blocks are only hurdles to success!
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
As an IRIS Consultant I get to see individuals collaborate with a trusted network of support to independently take control of their lives and fulfill their dreams.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
Besides my many years of experience with the differently abled individuals throughout my work history, I have also volunteered my time as a Special Olympics coach. I was adopted among seven other siblings of many different ethnic backgrounds and clearly understand the joy of diversity. My sister has a disability, so I know that it takes a village and a strong core support group to care for someone.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I love the outdoors and am an avid camper. I enjoy being very active in my church. I like watching movies that make you think and have a good plot. I am a huge sports fan and I enjoy the thrill of competition. Spending time with my family is priority number one but time alone is also very beneficial.
