"

As a professor, I am passionate about supporting behavioral health training and workforce development that maximizes care outcomes.

"

I am passionate about serving on the BHLC Board because, as GOBHI’s Chief HR and Marketing Officer and a member of the
Eastern Oregon Behavioral Health Workforce Development
Consortium, I bring firsthand experience in workforce development and a commitment to strengthening Oregon’s behavioral health system. I hope to contribute strategic insight and collaborative leadership to support a sustainable, equitable workforce.

"

I joined the BHLC board to stand alongside others who believe in healing, equity, and community. For me, it’s about lifting rural voices, building trust, and making sure compassion guides the systems we create together.
