Excellence in MI translates to better outcomes to the people we serve. It is my desire to continue and hone my skills, and as a life long learner I am passionate about helping others hone their MI practice. I was born and raised in Tucson, AZ. As a minority from an underprivileged school I went straight to the university and later to pursue my masters in Social Work. My desire has always been to help people grow and develop. I provide trainings each month to employees at my workplace and want to branch out to the community. I tailor trainings to meet the individual needs of the staff and focus on coaching during trainings to help people apply concepts. Let's partner together to make our community stronger with evidence based approaches to learn and apply MI.
