What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can protect vulnerable adults through thorough assessments, compliant documentation, and crisis de-escalation—while collaborating cross-functionally and using my operations/sales background to drive strong, measurable outcomes.

I’m an Adult Protective Specialist with the Department of Human Services, where I manage high caseloads while maintaining organized records and applying state and federal adult protective laws. I conduct comprehensive safety risk and care needs assessments, advocate within legal/ethical/policy guidelines, and respond to crisis with strong de-escalation and critical decision-making.

I also bring leadership and revenue-impact experience from Cox Communications and retail management—generating sales and pipeline results, onboarding and retaining customers, and improving store operations and customer experience. Across roles, I’ve used Salesforce to develop individualized services and safety plans, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams (law enforcement, medical staff, community partners), and driven measurable outcomes through training, troubleshooting systems, and clear performance ownership.
