Biography

I joined the WNMU School of Social Work team in July ‘2021. I am a lifelong resident of Grant County and most of my career has been in the medical field and working in hospitals, physical therapy, home health and hospice teams in different capacities, assisting people of all ages, all around the county. My passion of helping people and seeing first-hand the positive impact of social work led me to truly value the social work profession. I am excited to be a part of the School of Social Work team and assisting students in securing the internships that they are interested in pursuing, that aligns with the student’s interests, educational and career goals. I come with over 25 years of experience assisting the public and am ready to assist students in our program.  Outside the office, I ground myself as much as I can by enjoying the great outdoors (rain, snow or shine) along with my family and friends.
