What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply crisis intervention and administrative leadership to support diverse populations, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and foster safe, supportive community or school environments.

I am an accomplished and compassionate educational and behavioral health administrator with over two decades of experience in public health, education, and community leadership. I have delivered crisis intervention, behavioral health assessments, administrative management, and life-skills coaching across school and clinical settings, consistently ensuring safety and well-being for diverse populations.

My background includes direct crisis response work, school administrative support, bus aide and safety roles, and leadership in community associations. I prioritize collaborative coordination with multidisciplinary teams, proactive client engagement, and practical solutions that support successful transitions and sustained community integration.
