My years of experience and professional background has primarily been in the nonprofit mental health community population serving cooccurring diagnosis. My broad range of diverse skill sets lie within crisis intervention, forensic case management, care coordination, and program development to meet the growing needs of the behavioral health population in the northwest Florida region. I have over eight years of direct experience as a certified behavioral health case manager servicing mental health and substance abuse clients within circuit one of northwest Florida. I have had the pleasure operating in different roles including program management, facilitator, central point of contact for care coordination of high-risk populations including reintegration services. My undergraduate in Rehabilitation Studies propelled me to further pursue my MSW to advocate on various levels within the community for societal change. As a spouse of a military veteran, I have the pleasure of working with the local government establishment to assist with psychiatric services to enlisted military members to further pursue their careers and/or service duties.
