Biography
I have been in the field of child welfare since 2008, many years prior spent working in groups homes and shelters. A majority of my county experience, short of 10 years, was in on-going case management, many of these as a Lead in the on-going unit. I then spent a few years doing FAR/Investigations before transitioning into adoptions. I am currently a Child Welfare Supervisor.
