Thornton, ColoradoSchool Health Services Program Principal Consultant
Colorado Department of Education
My journey in the public health realm has been guided by a desire to increase visibility for the essential school programs and the impact they have on student health outcomes.
Three words to describe me:
resilient, altruistic, passionate
The best part of my job:
collaborating with an exceptional, dedicated team to profoundly influence students' lives, by improving access to critical mental and physical health services in the K-12 education system
Something that would surprise others about me:
For the past six years, I’ve been an active member of ‘The Uncommon Man’, a place for men to unpack their hearts in a safe environment, develop personally, improve their leadership skills, and discover their need for brotherhood. At its core, it is a book club, but it's also a circle of good friends who genuinely care for each other's best interests.
