Summary

As a licensed clinical social worker, manager, and deputy director at the state level in Colorado, the positions I have held allow me to develop strategic plans, ensure project implementation, and to develop rules, systems, and processes to enhance practice for all counties and licensed or certified agencies, facilities, and foster homes in the state of Colorado. I have an intrinsic commitment to protecting and serving the needs of children, youth, and families who are the most vulnerable in our child protection system and continue to advocate using my positional influence for the child's or youth's best interest.
