I thrive in roles that ask me to connect direct care with broader service delivery, and I’m passionate about turning lived experience into lasting change.

I’m adept at coaching life skills like budgeting and independent living, and I've facilitated family meetings to strengthen home-school-care coordination.
My ability to translate hands-on work into strategic care planning sets me apart. I'm tech-savvy, mission-driven, and deeply committed to scaling my impact through roles like Care Manager Extender—connecting direct support with broader systems of care.
