Summary

I am very proud to be a licensed social worker. I have had such enriching experiences over the years. I want to continue to challenge myself in ways not done before and share the experience and knowledge I have gained with others.
My most valuable asset as a social worker is that I am able to meet people where they are at, remain person centered, advocate fiercely and work well with other agencies also involved in the care of those I support.
