I’m currently the Administrative Assistant for the front office. I started working at In-Pact in 1997 as Residential Instructor at Berens group home. Later, I applied for the position of Data Specialist at the group home and received the promotion. After working for a little over 10 years at the group home, I became Administrative Assistant in 2008 at our corporate office. I’m responsible for ordering all office supplies, making sure office machines are serviced when needed, and publishing our newsletter and many other duties. I’ve earned two bachelor’s degree one in psychology and the other in addictionology.
