More about me

How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
To me, partnering means truly listening to the person’s goals and not trying to establish my own preferences or influence them. It is important for all of us to have choices in life, especially when so many people are marginalized. There may be times you have a hard time expressing the things you need. It’s my job as your TMG IRIS Consultant to have conversations using open ended questions to help us figure out together what your goals, wants and needs are.

What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?

I have a close relative who attended a school for the those with disabilities. His school friends were over at my home all the time, and independence was encouraged for all. My relative and his friends participated in activities, dated, married and had children.
