Hi LinkedIn, I'm looking forward to networking and connecting with you. My background has mostly centered around child welfare. I started working with families over 20 years ago. I owned and operated a learning center for 12 years. During this time many diverse families came to my center, and this is when I realized that children needed someone to speak on their behalf for their safety and welfare. I am an advocate for children, all children. I started in child welfare as a Child Proctective Investigator, a Dependency case manager, and Dependency Case Manager Supervisor, and a Behavioral Health Case Manager. Child welfare can be challenging, but also rewarding, knowing your making a difference in the life of a child and their family. As a pastor, life coach, mentor, and motivational speaker; I have worked with many diverse populations within the community. I believe in living a purpose driven life, living life on purpose and intentional. As I engage families within the community my goal is to aid them with tools to live a purposeful life while maintaining their mental and emotional wellbeing.
