What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my leadership skills in human services, focusing on ethical practices and team development.

With over 19 years of experience in human services, I have held various leadership roles including Team Leader, Program Supervisor, and HCBS Monitoring Specialist. My expertise lies in staff recruitment, training, and performance evaluations, particularly in programs that support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I pride myself on my strong administrative skills, which encompass calendar management, documentation, and effective stakeholder communication.

I am committed to promoting ethical, inclusive, and person-centered practices. My recent role as an HCBS Monitoring Specialist involved conducting compliance reviews and implementing quality improvement plans, ensuring that service delivery meets the highest standards. I have a proven track record of fostering collaboration and building coalitions to enhance service engagement and outreach.
