Wellness Coordinator
I am honored to serve as a Wellness Coordinator on the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) Wellness Unit, where I support the dedicated staff, I’ve come to know and deeply respect.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Michigan State University and bring 22 years of experience in trauma -informed care-helping individuals, families and groups navigate some of life’s most difficult challenges. Prior to joining the MDOC, I spent 18 years with the Mackinac/Chippewa County Department of Health and Human Services in Child and Adult Services, including 10 years in a supervisory role. My background also includes part-time work at Weber & Dever’s Psychological Services providing individual therapy, and for the past 15 years, I have served as a Clinical Social Worker at MyMichigan Sault Behavioral Health Center, offering inpatient clinical support-a role I continue to fulfill.
Through my work with the Wellness Unit, I’ve developed meaningful connections with MDOC staff and have seen firsthand the unique stressors faced by those working in Corrections-challenges that impact not only staff, but their families as well.
