I am a senior child protection worker that investigates abuse and neglect for Ramsey County, the second largest county in MN. I have been doing this since January of 2018 and love to be able to connect with professionals for other counties and entities to better our work for the youth and children in Minnesota.

I practice social work and provide case management services to children and families involved with the child protection system in Becker County. I work predominantly with families with young children. I work with birth families to address safety and well-being of children and provide referral for services and service assessment to achieve family stabilization and safety. Part of my practice also includes locating and assessing appropriate relatives or non-relatives for placement of children in foster care or for the purposes of permanent placement.
