In addition to supporting patients who interact with the front office, I am a person in long term recovery from substance use and have been providing peer support services in Kenosha County for over 10 years. I provide peer support to individuals that are incarcerated and/or in the community. It is my passion to provide hope, connection, support, and resources to those seeking recovery from substance use. It has been a privilege to do this work and the people I serve have been my greatest teachers. I have collaborated with many programs using my lived life experience and professional training to reduce stigma and advocate for the needs of those who have been affected by substance use disorders.
