Working as the Client Services Specialist for the Village Business Institute, I am responsible for case management for formal referrals to our counseling services, coordinating workplace training and assisting in managing crises in the workplace. Growing up with adopted and foster siblings, I have been passionate about mental health and social services from an early age and graduated from Northern Arizona University with a bachelor’s degree in Social Work. I began working at The Village in early 2018 in the Financial Resource Center. I have been so impressed by the warmth of the staff and faculty across the board at The Village and the services that we provide for the many communities in North Dakota and Minnesota. I am passionate about perpetuating positivity, hope and justice and living a life of integrity and honesty. I am proud of the work we do here at The Village.
