I am the social worker (LMSW) for the Legal Advocacy for Adults with Mental Illness (LAAMI) Program at Legal Services of Eastern Missouri (LSEM). I am also a public health practitioner (MPH, CHES) and enjoy drawing on my public health training to enhance our program and my social work practice. My work experience includes prison re-entry and the criminal justice system; community mental health; homelessness services and permanent supportive housing; health and social policy; hospice care and end of life services; community outreach and collaboration; grant writing and reporting; research and data management; and program design, implementation, and evaluation.

I look forward to learning and connecting with others during this conference! I would also appreciate networking with those experienced in mitigation and/or adult guardianship cases.
