I am a believer in systems and change. Systems link us in the most beautiful and necessary ways but are often outdated and built for generations before. And change, is a gift, that if done well, can dramatically alter systems to better deliver outcomes for our clients and communities. My passion for systems and change led me to my current role facilitating child welfare leaders in the pursuit of new and inventive solutions to increase capacity, allowing those on the front lines to truly help the families they serve. This work starts with uncovering the truth about the system, sparking creativity and ultimately large-scale implementation with lasting impact for state and county child welfare organizations. Previously I led similar work inside of the child welfare system and my local school district. I have extensive experience and knowledge in child development, the impact of generational trauma and the intersection of life experiences and the systems that are designed to help.
