The Home Assessment Program Team

I am a former Children’s Services caseworker with 15 years of experience working with children, families, and youth. My strengths lie in bringing families together to problem solve the various barriers that are sometimes put before all of us. I have a passion for Signs of Safety Practice and believe that all people, regardless of socioeconomic status, have the ability to overcome and heal past trauma with the support of others around them. I began writing SAFE Home Studies in 2017 out of a desire to ensure that there were homes, especially kinship homes, that were ready, willing and able to support their family members and the children of those families, in times of need. Since then I have written continuously and began supervising the SAFE Home Study process in 2019. I am on contract with Guided Path as a home study writer and supervisor.
