“I serve as a local FAN Great Lakes Bay Region board member, Saginaw County Prevention Coalition board member, and Saginaw County Court Structured Treatment and Recovery advisory board member. I have experience with FAN implementing the Hope Not Handcuffs and QRT initiatives at our police department. I have experience with QRT initiatives and providing/connecting persons suffering with substance misuse to appropriate recovery resources/partners, both as a law enforcement officer and volunteer firefighter. I have extensive experience with grant funding and partnership building. It is important that we utilize partnerships to connect people to resources, increase understanding of addiction, and reduce stigma to make our communities healthier.”
