As a person in long-term recovery, I am pleased to be able to work in a program that provides the kind of services we provide here at the center. My recovery began in Clayton County 23 years ago, at which time I began volunteering at Clayton Center. I began employment with the CSB shortly thereafter, as well as obtaining my Credential in addiction counseling. I have seen the addiction services at Clayton CSB expand and grow to meet the high needs of the community during this time to include day treatment, drug court, and residential services, among others.

I serve as Operations Manager for The Paula Crane Center and daily serve Individuals in recovery in showing them healthy alternatives to living including Holiday celebrations, cooking and nutrition classes, computer classes and ZUMBA/line dancing classes to name a few. I also create all graphic correspondence for the center, moderate the social media and website accounts, and represent the center at trade shows and other community events.

I currently serve as the Education and Vocation Specialist for Paula Crane Life Enrichment Center and daily serve individuals in recovery by showing them that it’s never too late to learn.

I started working with these amazing people on October 1, 2018 and it has been a wonderful journey. My co-workers are my family away from home and I always can count on them to help me get through whatever situation I am faced with. So today I do the work God has put before me: to serve and be an advocate for those who can’t speak for themselves.
