Hello! My name is Emily Begg. In 2019, I moved to Boulder, CO to explore a new state and the job opportunities it presented. Though I've held many different jobs, I feel most passionate about helping others and making connections that build up the community around me- no matter where that is! In April 2024, I stepped into the role of Lead Care Manager at Community Roots of Colorado where I manage a caseload of 15-17 clients and head our event planning committee. I am also exploring outreach opportunities as well as caregiver support groups in this new role. I worked for a local PASA for nearly 5 years when first moving to CO. I was able to build expertise in the I/DD community here and explore multiple roles including social media, residential care management and founded and ran the event planning committee. As a residential program manager there i managed a caseload of 15-18 clients where I supported those on the developmental disability waiver in improving their daily lives and meeting daily needs related to their housing and benefits. I was fortunate enough to have worked with most of my caseload as a Direct Support Professional in their home (also at KCS). In CA, I was working as a mental health worker for 4 years at a Board and Care facility in Santa Barbara (now PathPoint; fka Crescend Health/Phoenix of Santa Barbara). After graduating from UCSB in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, I volunteered at many organizations including, Peer Buddies!, Dr. Major's Self and Social Identity Lab, and SexInfoOnline.com which all aim to improve education in their own individual fields. My passion for learning and helping others fuels me and I am nothing but open and excited about new possibilities and opportunities!
