Child Services Case Management (County or Tribal)

I have worked in Child Protection for eight years; I provide ongoing case management to families and children. Our primary focus is reunification and helping maintain the family unit. However, I also work with youth post-permanency until a permanency plan can be finalized.

I was both a Child Welfare Scholar and a NCWWI scholar during the MSW program at UMD. I have been working in the front lines as a child protection case manager for the last 10 years, 6 of those being in tribal welfare. I have spent the majority of my professional career working with Indigenous families and communities while following and implementing the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and the Minnesota Indian Family Preservation Act (MIFPA). Additionally, I have been training with UMD’s Tribal Training and Certification Partnership (TTCP) since November 2021.

Every child in Sherburne County who is legally free for adoption deserves a permanent home.

I work with youth in foster care ages 14-24 years of age providing after-care services. We individualize our services by meeting youth where they are at. We do this by developing a plan that encompasses a youth’s dreams, goals, and aspirations for their life during and after foster care.
