Professional & Volunteer Affiliations

I opened the first bilingual outpatient clinic program in Albany, NY. This program was a satellite clinic that became a full-service outpatient clinic program providing counseling, case management, medical and medication services. The data used in this program helped to build the template for future bilingual outpatient program in NYS and Puerto Rico. I have been a partner in the REACT SAMSHA research grant program. The study measured and examined the importance of early intervention of medication assisted therapy for high-risk populations housed in the Albany County Jail. I was the chairwomen for the Police and Race Taskforce Committee for Fulton and Montgomery Counties. This taskforce has gathered data through research with community leaders, law enforcement agencies, provided educational support to address implicit bias and to promote understanding of racial inequality.
