For eight years prior to stepping into her current position, she was responsible for the administrative oversight of Corrections and Rehabilitation programs. Wendy is a transplant from the East Coast, where she worked primarily with adolescents and families.

Over the years, Wendy has served on many committees in the name of improving client care, and readily accepts various training and public speaking engagements on behalf of the agency. Yet she can just as easily be seen at the program level talking with clients. Wendy is dedicated to making a difference wherever she is most needed at MHS.
