MEMBER BIO
“I began at SAIL to fulfill a passion for direct human service work and improve the outcomes of people navigating difficult issues and seeking to flourish independently. As a recent NMU graduate in Neuroscience, the human mind interests me and redoubles my commitment to serve others in complex life circumstances and medical situations. My academic success has emboldened me to navigate the many services and partner resources SAIL provides and seek competence.
Previously I have worked for UPHS Marquette and the Room at the Inn emergency shelter in direct care roles assisting adults in high-stress situations. As a UP native, I hope to continue a history of helping all our Yooper neighbors.”
What Our Team Has To Say.
"I want to improve acceptance, community integration and employment opportunities for people in my community who have disabilities. They are individuals with strengths and challenges just like everyone else."
"As an intern at SAIL, I have been able to direct many people toward programs or organizations that may help people live more independently. Every time a goal is accomplished, the feeling of success is totally noticeable. Even with one client at a time, the community is noticing that this organization cares about our clients and the communities in which they serve."
"Disability Network has allowed me to share ways to deal with social issues, given me new ideas about technology and other accommodations, helped me to share and release stress, and increased my self esteem."
