My Story

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” —Maya Angelou

I’ve been at Wellpoint for more than 20 years. At Wellpoint, I have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and families at a systemic level.  Transforming systems such as K-12 and Early Childhood Education using equitable trauma informed practice has been fulfilling work. When you give a teacher or administrator and understanding along with tools that they need to be successful, you not only influence the students they have right now, but all of the students who they will encounter in the future. At Wellpoint, we are always taking on new challenges and looking for ways to innovate to make a greater impact.
