I am passionate about helping to give self-worth to someone who needs a chance to get back into society.
I obtained a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice, after which I was employed with the State of Michigan from 1980 to 1996. I moved out of state from 1996 to 2006 where I worked as a counselor at Woodland Hills Juvenile Correction Facility.
In 2006 I moved back to Michigan., and rehired back in with the State of Michigan in 2008. I retired from the State of Michigan with 27 & 1/2 years of service.
My goals for this program are to aid in helping with housing for people in need,
and to help individuals and families with resources to make them self-sufficient in aiding themselves and their families.
I also want to aid in finding employment and educational opportunities or trade work for individuals to foster success and to provide proper placement housing, professional aids, and medical help for the elderly.
