I am a lifelong California resident living in the North Valley area. I have spent the last 15 years of my career in the I/DD field, working as a provider of services and at two separate Regional Centers. In my previous position, I was the Associate Director of a Regional Center where I was responsible for developing processes for and rolling out the Self-Determination Program in that region. I have had extensive training and experience in the Self-Determination Program, Person-Centered Planning, and assisting people with obtaining services and meeting goals. I am very excited that the Self-Determination Program has now expanded to include anyone interested and look forward to assisting participants with reaching their goals through this exciting program!
