What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead impactful programs and foster collaboration in a supportive environment.

I am an energetic and dedicated social worker with over 21 years of experience in improving the lives of others. My extensive background includes managing and administering Intensive Targeted Case Management and providing program oversight. I am skilled in completing comprehensive assessments and have a strong commitment to client confidentiality and crisis intervention.

Throughout my career, I have successfully facilitated monthly meetings with the Behavioral Health Administration and Medicaid, providing technical assistance to providers and addressing various issues related to health benefit authorizations. My role as a Social Work Supervisor has allowed me to develop service plans and provide clinical supervision, ensuring that programs operate in accordance with established guidelines.
