Educational Background:
Bachelor’s in Psychology at UW River Falls and CBRF Certification
Credentials/Specialties:
Shortly after starting college, I started working at a CBRF group home and fell in love with the career. While working at the group homes, I also helped at their day program and volunteered at an equine therapy program. I continued to work in group homes for 2 years after college and decided for a change of scenery. When I changed careers, I decided to be an Early Childhood Teacher, working primarily with toddlers. After 2 years of working with children, I started to miss working with individuals with disabilities, so I applied to MILC and am now an IRIS Consultant.
County/Region I am familiar with:
Outagamie, Calumet, Pierce, Waupaca, St Croix County
Languages or Communication Skills:
English
I am comfortable with pets in the home:
Yes
More about me:
I have a personal connection with disabilities. At the age of 5, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. During the time of medication changes in my early teenage years, it caused me to struggle with my mental health on and off as well.
In my free time, I love to read, hunt, fish, sit by a fire, and spend time with my fur babies. Ace, a 4-year-old yellow lab, and Archie, a 2-year-old orange cat.
I look forward to meeting you and assisting in meeting your self-directed goals.
