In my role as a Recovery Coordinator and Project Coordinator for the State of Kentucky's Drug Court Program, I have had the privilege of playing a crucial role in the rehabilitation and recovery process for individuals struggling with substance abuse. My experience spans various responsibilities, each aimed at supporting participants in their journey toward a drug-free life while ensuring the program operates smoothly and effectively. As a Recovery Coordinator, I have worked directly with participants to develop personalized recovery plans that address their unique needs and circumstances. This includes conducting thorough assessments to identify the root causes of their addiction, as well as any co-occurring mental health issues. I have provided ongoing support and guidance, helping participants navigate the challenges of recovery, such as finding stable housing, securing employment, and accessing mental health services. I am a veteran of the US Army, I have a bachelor's in Psychology from UofL and I will have my Master's in Social Work from UK in the Spring of 2025
