I am a Parent Ambassador for United Way of Coastal and Western CT, where I work with local agencies to create best practices for community engagement frameworks and advocate for parent voice in local initiatives. I am trained in Restorative Practices, School Climate, Results-Based Facilitation, and Mandated Reporting, and I have a history of working in the individual and family services industry and with non-profits.
