I am a licensed social worker and a mental health peer advocate. I am the Director of Employment Services at Baltic Street AEH, Inc. where we support those who have lived experience with trauma and the mental health system to meet their employment goals. We currently work under the American Dream Employment Network to provide employment services to Social Security ticket to work recipients. Utilizing both my lived experience and professional experience to support others that have survived trauma is a passion of mine. I have worked for Baltic Street AEH, Inc. since 2010. I started as a full time employment specialist and now have the privilege of directing the employment program.
