Vision
I am an innovative servant-leader, driven by the hope of enabling all people the opportunity to improve their health and wellness, to live self-directed lives, to be integrated and contributing members of their communities, and to reach their full potential (SAMHSA Working Definition of Recovery, 12/10/11). Through my experience, skills, and passions, I strive to realize that vision through a variety of roles including educator, administrator, consultant, and advocate. I lead by example, by relationship, and by partnership and collaboration.
