Get Involved

I have been employed with Wellpoint twice, totaling over 12 years. I was first hired as a Youth Counselor. After five years and receiving a few smaller promotions, I was then promoted to Unit Manager. After over four years in that role, I left in 2017 and returned in 2019 as placement liaison and was later promoted to the Placement and Caregiver Coordinator supervisor. I came back to Wellpoint as it has always felt like home to me and has provided me a level of comfort and opportunities for growth personally and professionally. Wellpoint has provided me a positive workplace and allowed me the tools I need to successfully serve our community. I continue to choose to work here as I feel wanted and appreciated. More importantly, I receive the challenge that keeps me motivated to come to work every day. Staff work well together and respect one another. I came to Wellpoint as I wanted a job fresh out of college and they provided me a career.

I graduated with my bachelor’s degree from UW-Milwaukee.

I have been at Wellpoint since March of 2015. I’ve had many positions and have always loved my job. Prior to my current position, I worked as a Foster Care Licensing Specialist for almost two and a half years and before that, I was a Case Manager for four years. As a case manager, I was blessed to work directly with many families by helping them find the resources they needed. Seeing the beautiful smiles on the children and families when they achieved permanency brought me so much joy. As a Child Welfare Mentor, I enjoy training new staff and guiding new and current staff so that they feel supported. The work that we do can be overwhelming, but with help from others, we can do it.

I am part of the IV-E Program through Wellpoint and getting my masters in social work in December 2021.

I’ve been at Wellpoint for about 10 years. I’ve gotten the ability to work with very different populations and diverse groups of people over the past decade. As a case manager, I enjoyed working with families and providing them with the necessary resources to grow and thrive. As a supervisor, I have the opportunity to assist my staff and encourage them to strive toward the same goal. Everyone on staff is dedicated to the work that we do. Wellpoint has a flexible work environment and allows opportunities for growth and promotions within the agency.

I have bachelor’s in psychology and behavioral science with a minor in sociology as well as a master’s in social work with an emphasis on children and families.
