### Passion. Purpose. Excellence.These are the qualities that have always fueled my intrinsic drive. My journey began in the creative arts, where I spent the first quarter of my life as a musician, composer, and producer. This experience honed my problem-solving skills, resilience, and instilled in me the belief that growth and improvement are endless pursuits.My passion was defined by an instinctive connection to the transformational beauty of music. I found purpose in sharing this beauty and the creative process with others. My commitment to excellence was demonstrated by my relentless drive to make myself and my work better every day. Though my career in music didn't reach the heights I had hoped for, it provided me with a deeper understanding of my core values and cultivated leadership skills.Embracing a new path, I began focusing on serving others. I first entered the mental health field and then transitioned to supporting individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. This work has been both rewarding and challenging. I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of those I provide care for, as well as those who are dedicated to providing care.My passion in social services is fueled by my deep empathy and commitment to improving the quality of life for others. My purpose is to empower individuals and create meaningful, lasting change. And my commitment to excellence is reflected in my relentless pursuit of innovative solutions and my dedication to building strong, compassionate teams.Today, I am a seasoned leader and analytical thinker with extensive experience in non-profit management. I have a proven ability to build and lead high-performing teams by balancing empathy with accountability. I have spearheaded multiple transformational projects aimed at enhancing service delivery, efficiency, and compliance. As a certified ODP Quality Manager with classroom training in Lean Six Sigma principles, I am skilled in Social Services, Psychology, Crisis Intervention, Behavioral Health, and Program Development. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Psychology from Immaculata University.
