I  began my career in the mental health field working with children 
with learning disabilities at Meadows Elementary School in Ft. Hood, 
TX.  After returning to Virginia,  I worked in a residential treatment facility from 1995-2004.  In 2005-2006,  I worked at Southern Virginia Mental Health  Hospital.  I worked for The Center of Pediatric Therapy from 2006-2007.  I have enjoyed  working for The Madeline Centre since April 2008. I have been married to my husband Alfonzia for 27 yrs. We have two sons Steve and Jon.
