What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values collaboration, innovation, and impactful community service.

I am a multidisciplinary professional with extensive experience in education, social services, and business development. My journey has equipped me with the skills to develop programs from the ground up, leveraging my expertise in grant writing, staff development, and program management. I have a proven track record of providing therapy and implementing special programs for individuals with diverse needs in various settings, including schools and long-term care facilities.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in managing operations, advocating for individuals, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. My role as Program Director at Sevita Health allowed me to oversee multiple entities, implement person-centered planning, and lead a dedicated team. I am passionate about fostering positive change and supporting individuals in achieving their goals, which has been a driving force in my professional ethos.
