Accomplishments
My journey in behavioral health is rooted in deep personal resilience and a firsthand understanding of what it takes to rebuild a life.
Following my incarceration, I completely committed myself to transformation by completing an intensive 12-step residency program within a Celebrate Recovery group home. That pivotal milestone became the bedrock of my advocacy work, inspiring me to anchor my lived experience in rigorous professional credentials.
Over the years, I have earned my state certifications as a Peer Support Specialist (PRSS), as well as recently applying for my Washington State (PRSS) and National Peer Recovery Support (NPRSS), a Behavioral Health Wellness Coach (BHWC), and a Behavioral Health Case Manager II (BHCM II), alongside specialized training in Motivational Interviewing.
I have channeled this unique combination of skills into more than two years of frontline case management and crisis unit experience, dedicating every day to helping others navigate their hardest moments.
One of my proudest professional milestones was serving as a vital member of a foundational three-person team that navigated the outpatient services framework for Grand Mental Health. By blending clinical compliance with deep empathy, our small team directly contributed to exceptionally high rates of client recovery, proving that structured, compassionate care can fundamentally rewrite a person's trajectory.
To continually elevate the support I offer and deepen my systemic impact, I am currently advancing my education by studying behavioral health and social work at Grand Canyon University.
Every credential, program built, and breakthrough achieved over the years is a testament to the power of dedicated advocacy, and I remain fiercely committed to breaking down barriers and championing human potential.
