Biography

I have worked in child protection (county agency) since 2006. My practice runs from the assignment of a child protection case, fresh from assessment/investigation, through to permanency. In 2024, I became Child Protection Team Lead for the ongoing case managers, which shifts the focus of my work to half-time leadership. This includes case assignment, frequent consultation, case audit, and court report/case plan reviews. The other half of my time, I am out doing a job I love just as much (case management), gathering stories and creating relationships.
