She has played a critical role in driving impactful initiatives in addressing societal issues including mental health, physical activity, and recovery.  Her passion lies in mobilizing advocacy, research, and innovation of recovery support services. Her goal as a social worker is to change the recovery landscape through policy, systems, and programming to make it more accessible and elevate the role of harm reduction in urban communities.
