"The beginning of my career was in advertising and marketing with successful television and radio shows in the Philadelphia-Atlantic City media market. As a person in recovery I found myself wanting to expand my professional life into areas that were more beneficial to those who were in need. I spent several years working for the state of New Jersey as a Social

Worker and Grant Writer running family self-sufficiency programs. I then transitioned into working directly with recovering addicts in the areas of residential recovery, addiction brain chemistry and program management."
