Affiliations
I am a mother to two wonderful children. Despite the difficult job duties that come with working with Child Protective Services, I have learned that it is important to separate work from home and enjoy my children while I can. I am very active in my children's lives.
I take stride in knowing that the children that I work with are safe daily.
Accomplishments
I have attended many training, most recently mostly for Sex Abuse and Physical Abuse as these are the cases that I work on the most.
