More about me

How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
I work hard to listen to people. It is important to know what their likes and dislikes are. It matters that I understand what they feel, what their wishes, concerns, and dreams are, and what barriers we can work on overcoming together. I enjoy working with others and doing my best to help them live their most healthy, vibrant life.

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

What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
My past experiences have included operating a group home for at-risk youth, assisting individuals with various abilities to obtain sheltered and/or community employment and also navigating the public benefits systems, including but not limited to Social Security Disability Insurance, Supplemental Security Income, various different programs of Medicaid and Medicare.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I am a married mother of 8 children, with some fur babies thrown into the mix, so I do not have much free time. I enjoy attending a bootcamp style gym for exercise. I enjoy watching my children participate in their extracurricular activities, which have included hockey, cheer and dance.
