About Me, My Career Journey and My "Why" for this work
I started Action Creates Change LLC in 2024 with the goal of helping young adults in early recovery from substance use disorders and life disrupting mental health conditions find purpose and direction. Life gets interrupted and the plans we had for ourselves can feel irreparably derailed. I also have the honor of being a service provider with the Colorado Department of Vocational Rehabilitation and have experience working with people with conditions ranging from multiple sclerosis, anxiety disorders, traumatic brain injuries, physical limitations, and more.
My first role in employment services was in 2020 as the manager of an education/work based reentry program for people recently released from incarceration and/or currently experiencing homelessness. For program participants, obtaining stable employment and job skills were key factors to prevent relapse, recidivism and to be successful in this next chapter of their lives.
I now enjoy spending my work time in my current roles at Colorado State University's Career Center as a career educator and with Action Creates Change LLC where I oversee business operations and provide one on one career coaching. I enjoy this work immensely and look forward to working with you.
My services are provided virtually and nationwide. For clients in Fort Collins, CO I do offer in-person coaching services and am also a registered vendor with the Colorado Division of Vocational Rehab.
