    Hello, 
    I just joined this group and am very excited to join this group of scholar-practitioners and educators!

    I recently joined Herzing University and I am the Director of Field Education for the Master of Social Work Program. The new online graduate program is currently in CSWE Pre-Candidacy, and our first MSW cohort begins in September!  

    As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2003, I have more than 21 years' experience in the social work field.   For the last 9 years, I have been Senior Director of Clinical Operations for a large national behavioral health organization--supervised and provided clinical and training support for more than 60 LCSWs in multiple states and provided behavioral health services to aging adults in post-acute and long-term care communities. 

    In 2022, I completed my Doctorate in Education in Organizational Change and Leadership from USC.  I live in Missouri and love the change of seasons in the Midwest.   I walk my dog often and love participating in and attending sports events.  

    I look forward to learning more about you all, particularly Field Education Directors on this list serve. 

    Warm regards, and I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day holiday weekend!
