Get to know me

I am a behavioral health professional with 30 years’ experience delivering direct services, working within the fields of substance use prevention, mentoring, and youth development. My areas of expertise include coalition development and implementation, project and program planning, community engagement, the strategic prevention framework (SPF), and guiding TTA centers to address key workforce needs to support effective services. At CARS I have led multiple statewide SUD prevention training and technical assistance (TTA) initiatives and have worked directly with funders to develop a statewide plan for prevention services.

I have been honored to engage in several initiatives providing direct support and services to communities and practitioners. This includes contributing to the development of a statewide learning program providing intensive, year-long supports to assist county behavioral health department staff develop strategic prevention plans. I am also proud of my contributions in designing and implementing a local, community-based program that was awarded the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Agency Directors National Award for Innovative Substance Abuse Prevention Programs, Practices, and Policies. But I am most proud of the opportunity I have at CARS to work with so many talented, passionate, and inspiring colleagues.
