About me:

I am a longtime resident of Howard County, Maryland, where I currently live, work and volunteer. I have raised my family in Howard County and attended school here myself at Howard High School. I am very familiar with the resources, supports and activities available in our community.

My academic journey led me to earn an Associate of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Science degree both in Psychology, focusing on intellectual disabilities, from Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA. This educational path was influenced by personal encounters with individuals in my family and community who encountered challenges accessing services and supports.

Throughout my professional journey, my primary focus has been on assisting and educating others. My diverse experience encompasses supporting individuals of various ages and abilities. I dedicated seven years to special education and behavior management within HCPSS, followed by three years providing direct assistance to individuals with Autism, and an additional three years as a Service Coordinator facilitating access to DDA waivered services.

I am driven by a dedication to aiding others, advocating for rights and equal treatment, and empowering others to live a life of their choosing.

A Support Broker is an optional service that provides information, guidance, assistance and advice to you in support of Self-Directing your DDA-waivered services. A Support Broker becomes a member of your PCP team.

Support Broker Services assist you in making decisions related to your budget and management of the self directed services that support you. This service includes assistance in identifying DDA services, budget development, employee hiring and management, assistance with DDA and self-directed requirements, FMCS support, and more depending on your specific needs...

In addition to support broker services, I also offer Day to Day administrator support, which includes personalized assistance with day-to-day tasks such as managing your appointments, schedule, finances and more. DDA policy prohibits me from providing both Day to Day and Support Broker services to the same individual at the same time.

DDA funds 4 hours of Support Broker services each month, through the request for Support Broker services in your PCP and DDA approved budget. Additional hours can be funded through the unallocated funds in your DDA approved budget, if needed. Hourly rate aligns with DDA approved vendor rate for services.

You may contact me to initiate an interview and request more information. You may also connect with your Coordinator of Community Services [CCS] and request they contact me.

I provide services to individuals receiving DDA-waivered services in all counties and regions across Maryland. I use a combination of in-person, virtual, and over-the-phone methods to provide needed support.
