I am currently working as a Program Manager at Companions, Inc., specializing in Supported Living and Personal Support Services. With 20 years of dedicated experience in the human services field, I have earned a reputation for excellence and compassion while supporting individuals within the IDD community in Residential settings. I am deeply passionate about advocating for individuals with developmental disabilities and recognizing the vital importance of fostering inclusive communities. My advocacy efforts enhance educational opportunities, employment prospects, and social engagement for those that I serve. By championing their rights, it plays a crucial role in dismantling stereotypes and promoting accessibility, ensuring that everyone receives the support they need to thrive. Through my work, I not only empower individuals to advocate for themselves but also helps build a more equitable society for all.
