With over 10 years of executive leadership experience and business development, I have found my greatest strength is in strategic planning and program development that maintains a strong connection to the company’s overall vision. I excel in creating work cultures that value excellence in the care and support of the clients served. I have developed strategic policies in multiple fields of business that focus on the education of people, their families and community while also complying with local, State and Federal regulations. 

As a graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz- receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Education, I then began my journey at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. where I completed an internship with the Public Defender’s office, and had my initial, first hand experience within the legal and prison system. At all levels of these systems, countless issues are raised, most of which are of great complexity and the root of immeasurable social significance. It was through this experience where I unquestionably chose to focus my career on preventative care and support for vulnerable populations. Over a 20+ year career, I feel fortunate and proud of the programs I have created and supported, all of which have created positive impacts on our community and the individuals living and thriving within them.
