My goal in life has always been to help people and with that in mind, I graduated from Adams State College with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. I worked at Imagine!

I came back to Imagine! in the summer of 2021 starting as the HRC liaison in the Case Management department, then moving to Central Administrative Coordinator and now as Office Manager at A&I Avenues. I enjoy gardening and spending time with my dogs and my family.
