I am a seasoned professional with 24+ years of program administration and crisis management experience in diverse sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for mental health counseling, as well as for culture development and staff recruitment, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company and client success throughout my career. Professional focal points include operations management, staff onboarding, care coordination, people management, team development, performance assessment, data analysis, and critical thinking. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and prioritization skills, as well as problem solving, best practices, project management, and resource management to support efficiency and optimal results. Currently, I am the Founder and CEO of the Center of Hope for Behavioral Health. In this role, I direct and oversee an organization which provides outpatient mental health counseling, adolescent services, and adult housing services, including multiple programs and substantial budgets. I also implement measures to sustain growth which has led to an increase in revenue of 80% within three years. In addition, I liaise with industry professionals, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the organization’s support structure is driving center and client success with minimal obstacles. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, mental health and crisis services expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver desirable results on time and under budget.I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field.
