High Acuity Team Lead and UM

Hi, I am the High Acuity Team Lead and UM at Casa de Los Ninos. I also help my wonderful supervisor Lucas with overseeing Rapid Response and Welcome Center.

I have been at CDLN for almost 6 years and in that time, I have worked Parents as Teachers, High Acuity Team, Rapid Response and Out of Home. I have a degree in Criminal Justice and have previously worked as a police dispatcher for Tucson Police and as a DCS investigator. Also, when I was younger, I worked at Walmart catching shoplifters.

Fun Fact: I used to play tackle football at Tucson High and on my senior night I was recruited to play women’s semi pro tackle football where I played for a few years and most recently I play women’s flag football.

But most importantly I love Casa and everyone around me 🙂
