I have been in the treatment field for the last 15 years.  I was a substance abuse counselor at a long term residential treatment center for adult men for 6 years.  I moved to Saint George in 2012 and started working with troubled teens at a long term RTC. 

 

I held positions as a direct care staff, a group leader, and a shift leader.  I then accepted the position of Quality Assurance Officer, which involved video surveillance, incident investigations that involved any students.  I conducted weekly and bi-weekly training for new hires and annual recertifications for staff. 

 

In the last two years, I managed a day program for adults with intellectual and physical disabilities and then was moved to manage a residential home with three clients for the same company.
