As part of the Business Development team at Cholla Behavioral Health, I focus on building meaningful partnerships that expand access to high-quality mental health and substance use treatment. I work closely with healthcare providers, community organizations, and referral partners to ensure individuals and families are connected to compassionate, evidence-based care when they need it most.
Prior to joining Cholla, I served as a Peer Support professional with Riverside County, California, where I worked directly with individuals navigating mental health and substance use challenges. That experience strengthened my understanding of the real-world barriers people face when seeking care and reinforced the importance of connection, advocacy, and trust in the recovery process.
I have also worked with Young People in Recovery, a national nonprofit dedicated to empowering young adults in recovery through education, advocacy, and community engagement. This work deepened my commitment to recovery-focused systems of care and community-based support.
Bringing together lived experience, public-sector service, and relationship-driven business development, I am committed to advancing Cholla Behavioral Health’s mission by fostering collaboration, increasing awareness of services, and creating accessible, seamless pathways to care.
