Summary

I am a qualified, compassionate, and driven professional with extensive experience as both a Caseworker, as well as the Caseworker Supervisor at CenterPoint Recovery Center for Men, excelling in personal and professional engagement, organizational skills, and devotion to the consumers we serve. I thoroughly believe in and am committed to the consumers and overall program at CenterPoint Recovery Center for Men. As a person in long term recovery myself I have dedicated both my personal and professional life to helping individuals that struggle with the same issues that I once did. CenterPoint is the epitome of what a long term treatment program should strive to be like and I aim to contribute to that in any capacity I can for as long as I can.
