What do you bring to NAMI?
I struggled with misdiagnosed mental illness for approximately 7 years as a result of the broken mental health care system. After I reached recovery following a correct diagnosis, I vowed to be a part of the ultimate fix for the mental health care system. Being the program director at NAMI Southeast Minnesota is my literal dream job and I bring my passion with me to work every single day.
What do you love about working here?
I love the feeling that my family grew exponentially upon starting here. Each of my co-workers and the volunteers that I get to work with on a daily basis help me feel supported, validated, and valued.
What's something interesting about you?
I triple majored in Psychology, Sociology, & Spanish in undergrad.
