Get to know me

I’m a Project Manager with a background that bridges psychology, criminal justice, social work, healthcare, IT, and public health. Since entering the behavioral and public health field in 2023, I’ve focused on supporting mental health professionals in implementing impactful public health services. My areas of expertise include project coordination, tracking and documentation, data analysis, tech hosting, video editing, and accessible formatting.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with a wide range of professionals including patients, healthcare providers, network engineers, organizational leaders, and public systems partners. I care deeply about improving quality of life by supporting the changemakers who bring lived experience and innovative ideas to the table.

I consider myself a jack of all trades with a passion for connecting people to the services and supports they need. I’m always ready to step in, learn something new, and help the team thrive.

Outside of work, I enjoy weightlifting, exploring the outdoors, and foodie destinations, watching anime, gaming, and spending time with my spouse and our three kitties.
