2011-2012: Victims Advocate Volunteer for Sexual Assault Prevention and Response team at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ.
2005-Present: Adopted two medically fragile children with severe multiple impairments. I managed their extensive case management for eighteen years since their birth. Objectifying the idea of successfully raising exceptional children with unique abilities in the home setting. Therefore, aggressively recruited intensive intervention and support through various states, government, and private entities. Battling insurance posed a different kind of monster to conquer. Yet, victory was achieved by consistency, patience, wit, creative thinking, and a hefty dose of bulldog tenacity. My home became medically equipped with everything a professional institution would have. I have directly trained numerous home health care professionals in the voluminous demands of daily living, with safety awareness being foundational and concluded with a phenomenal team in place: around-the-clock nursing and Home Health Aides (HHA), Therapeutic Staff Support (TSSs), Behavior Specialist Consultants (BSCs), and Mobile Therapists (MTs). I relocated to New York in 2021, which meant starting over in almost every aspect of life. Doing so during a national pandemic, laws changing for opioid overdose prevention, and insurance adjustments, presented new challenges. Unfortunately, one of my children passed away in 2022. Life has since recalibrated from temporary emotional paralysis and financial setbacks, catapulting into new beginnings. Almost two decades of knowledge can be used to help others.
2004-2009: Licensed Foster Care Provider through Children Youth Services, Las Vegas, NV. Developed direct experience with the following disabilities: Neurological Disability; Asthma (needing breathing treatments and medication); Asperger Syndrome, Severe Autism, and Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Pervasive Development Disability (ASD/PDD); Severe Intellectual Disability; Behavior Disorders (ADD, ADHD, ODD, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Bipolar, and Schizophrenia.

2001-2003: New Community Church, Las Vegas, NV. Led Women's Small Group Studies. Apartment Ministry Moved into a lower-income neighborhood/apartment complex to meet the community's needs. Established a Kids Club in the Apartment
Club House for first through sixth graders: organized events, games, activities, and instruction to encourage positive character attributes. The material paralleled what was taught in the school system. Provided snacks and dinner two to three times a week—opened personal apartment to the older teens once a week, and created strict discipline, boundaries, and house rules. Surprisingly, 90% of the teens respected the parameters created. The other 10% lost their privilege of attending these events. Reached the older generation through music, games, activities, field trips, fun, and discussions on real-life topics and offered opportunities for open communication. The end goal was to meet practical, financial, and emotional needs through the church.
