Specialties (e.g., working with autism, the elderly, employment for people with disabilities or
youth in transition, mental health, experience with assisted technology)
Prior to joining TMG, I worked as Information and Assistance personnel at the ADRC of Florence County. There, I helped the elderly and disabled find services that would help them live more independently at home. Today, I enjoy spending time with the young and elderly with my therapy dog. I also volunteer as an EMT with my local rescue squad. All these experiences have prepared me to be a knowledgeable, passionate and compassionate TMG IRIS Consultant.

More about me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
I partner with individuals and families to create a clear path and a solid plan that can assist them in reaching their specific goals, hopes and dreams. We will work together to identify the services that are available in your area and outlying regions. We make sure that these supports are individualized, and person-centered. We will continually review the supports to ensure the that they are relative to achieving the goals identified and moving forward. Building a trusting relationship with the people I work with is extremely important. Each person's needs are different and equally important – no person's situation will ever be the same.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
I love meeting new people and learning about their lives and interests. I enjoy helping people and problem solving to get the best outcome. It’s very rewarding to be so close to people and to know I’m helping them as much as I can.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
My experience working at the ADRC, and working with my therapy dog and volunteering as an EMT has prepared me to be a knowledgeable, passionate and compassionate TMG IRIS Consultant. I look forward to getting to know you and working together to help you get the support you need to meet your goals.
