About
I worked in social services for 10 years, predominantly as a Clinical and On-call Crisis Case Manager. In recent years, as the COVID pandemic ebbed into receding current events, I transitioned into a new path of passions. Emergency services and supports has always felt like a calling but now with renewed resilience and fortitude, I've dug in and created a name for myself in the world of emergency management and medical support within the East Coast. I have a proclivity for for creative problem solving and commitment to those in need of assistance, ongoing interest in risk mitigation and effective response to emergency incidents. With a macro goal of network development, sustainable relationships with other emergency entities and many micro-goals of professional development, I'm finding my way along a unique path that I am happily carving out for myself.
