Summary

As the founder at Safely Home, Inc., I utilized my education from MSASS to implement a new approach to the residential care for children. I oversaw all aspects of the creation and implementation of 'best practices' in the program for 29 years. I also taught in an adjunct role at MSASS, and trained professionals in the field at local, state and national conferences. Now that I have retired from my Administrative role, I would like to offer my services to train a new generation of Social Workers.
