Throughout my professional journey, I have held various roles, including Project Director at Echota Behavioral Health, where I led strategic planning and community engagement efforts. My background as a Foster Care Worker and Child Welfare Specialist has equipped me with the skills to assess and support families in crisis, ensuring the safety and well-being of children.
