My Story
I started my career in Human Services in 2002 wide-eyed, inexperienced and eager to make a difference. It is more than 18 years later, and my desire to make a positive impact has only grown stronger. The difference between then and now is that I have a much clearer sense of how to accomplish the lofty goal of making the world a better place. I have been fortunate to gain incredibly valuable experiences and work with talented colleagues and resilient clients that have taught me more than I thought possible. I believe that the best way to get things done is through collaboration. I am energized by the opportunity to share with and learn from others to design innovative solutions. My personal mission and inspiration for Go Partner LLC is to form partnerships that will transform communities by turning vision into action.
