I possess significant experience in behavioral health program oversight, compliance, and quality assurance, which aligns well with the requirements of the Mental Health Program Specialist 2 position. My roles at NYS OASAS involved conducting regulatory site reviews, collaborating with providers to ensure compliance, and providing technical assistance. Additionally, my experience as a Director of Quality Assurance involved continuous internal quality and regulatory site reviews on outpatient SUD programs, presenting findings, and identifying corrective action plans. My background in human resources leadership also equips me with skills in recruitment, retention, equity, and diversity, which are valuable in the context of program development and oversight.
