What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue providing trauma-informed, evidence-based support for people navigating serious mental illness, homelessness, and criminal justice involvement while growing my clinical, case management, and research skills.

At Journey Mental Health Center, I provide ongoing clinical support to adults with serious mental illness who are involved in or diverted from the criminal justice system. I coordinate transportation, benefits reinstatement, housing navigation, and reentry planning to reduce barriers to treatment engagement.

Previously, at the Koenigs Incarceration & Mental Health Lab at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, I administered PHQ-9, PCL-5, and C-SSRS assessments, coded qualitative data in NVivo, and managed sensitive research data in REDCap under IRB protocols. I also collaborated with researchers and community partners on the Dane County Reentry Resource Packet.

I bring experience in trauma-informed outreach, clinical documentation, safety planning, and multidisciplinary collaboration with psychiatrists, probation agents, and community providers.
