With a strong foundation in both exercise science and disability support services, I bring over seven years of dedicated experience in residential and community-based care. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Bob Jones University in 2018, followed by a Master’s degree in Exercise Science with a concentration in Rehabilitation from California University of Pennsylvania.

Since beginning my career as a Direct Support Professional in 2018, I have had the privilege of serving in various leadership roles, including House Manager, Program Manager, Operations Manager, Training Director, and Program Specialist within two agencies in Pennsylvania. I am also a Pennsylvania ODP Certified Investigator and hold certifications through NADD as both a Direct Support Professional and Dual Diagnosis Specialist. Additionally, I am a NASM Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist, which supports my ability to assist individuals with physical and mobility-related needs.

My passion lies in empowering individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities to reach their fullest potential—both at home and in the community. That passion is what inspired me to take the next step by founding Ups and Downs Advanced Residential Life Services, LLC. Through this agency, I am committed to delivering high-quality, person-centered in-home and community supports that promote independence, inclusion, and meaningful growth.
