What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in behavioral health where I can improve program outcomes, develop staff, ensure compliance, and foster inclusive, recovery-focused services.

I am a dedicated behavioral health professional with extensive experience managing residential SUD programs, compliance, and staff training. I have overseen daily operations of a 71-bed Medi-Cal residential treatment program, led quality assurance and audits, and developed programs that improve client retention and treatment completion.

I bring years of experience in organizational consulting, executive leadership, and clinical education—facilitating trainings on DEI, unconscious bias, and clinical curricula, implementing compliance systems, and leading multidisciplinary teams to deliver measurable improvements in operations and client outcomes.
