Social Work
I hail from Richmond, Indiana. I originally earned a MAIS with emphases in Chemical Dependency and Counseling, and an MSW. My Social Work-related experience in New Mexico includes 13 years in treatment supporting folks with intellectual disabilities. During that time, I held many positions including Direct Service staff, Managing Agent, Service Coordinator, and Director of Service Coordination. More recently, I headed up a Behavioral Health Organization in Hidalgo County, New Mexico called the Bootheel Youth Association. As the Director of the Bootheel Youth Association, I implemented a dual strategy of evidence-based adventure programming with macro level interventions in efforts to prevent and reduce substance use in Hidalgo County. I am a Silver City resident who is married and has one daughter. When I am not at the University, I enjoy backpacking, rafting, mountain biking and snowboarding.
