What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead impactful crisis services, foster team collaboration, and contribute to the well-being of individuals in need.

I am a dedicated professional with over 11 years of experience in crisis management, program leadership, and team management. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in quality assurance and developing training curricula, particularly within the behavioral health and crisis intervention sectors. I am passionate about delivering effective support while maintaining compliance with professional standards, ensuring that individuals receive the best possible care.

In my current role as a Behavioral Health Specialist at Unified Care Group, I develop and manage behavior support plans, continuously evaluating strategies for optimal effectiveness. My experience includes providing ongoing education and support to staff and stakeholders, performing behavioral assessments, and delivering post-intervention support following critical incidents. I have also worked as an Intern Mental Health Clinician, where I assessed and prioritized mental health issues, developing tailored treatment plans in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.

Throughout my career, I have facilitated the provision of services aimed at improving self-sufficiency and community engagement for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I am committed to enhancing service quality through training and meticulous documentation, ensuring that all activities adhere to professional standards and ethical practices. My goal is to leverage my expertise to lead impactful crisis services that make a difference in the lives of those I serve.
