I am the proud parent of three amazing adult children, and my experiences as both a mother and a Direct Support Professional have shaped my passion for serving others. I currently work with at-risk youth, where I have the privilege of supporting young people as they navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and discover their strengths. I joined this community to continue growing both personally and professionally. My goal is to gain deeper insight, practical tools, and evidence-based strategies that will help me better support the youth I work with every day. I believe that every young person deserves to be seen, heard, valued, and given the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.
