I began my career at Merit Medical Systems, where I spent nearly 17 years in customer service, marketing, and sales. In 2017, I transitioned into the mental health field and joined Solstice West RTC as Director of Business Development. This work quickly became personal—as a parent who navigated my own son’s mental health journey, I developed a deep sense of empathy and commitment to supporting families in crisis.

In 2023, I stepped into a new challenge as Executive Director at Sedona Sky Academy, where I was tasked with rebuilding and growing a struggling program. In 2024, following the acquisition of Sedona Sky by Emoticare, I moved into the role of Chief Growth Officer, helping lead strategic growth efforts across a larger network of programs.

I love working across teams—clinical, program, and operational—to strengthen systems, build relationships, and create hope for families. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, concerts, the outdoors, and spending time with my two sons and my service dog, Charlie.
