I was born and raised in Long Island, New York, where I studied Liberal Arts at Suffolk County Community College. After years of struggling with drugs and alcohol, I relocated to Port St. Lucie, Florida, in June of 2013 and have been sober ever since. My personal journey led me to begin working in the substance abuse and mental health treatment field in 2014, where I quickly discovered both a passion and a purpose in helping others on their path to recovery.

Throughout the years, I have held many roles within the facility, each providing valuable experience and perspective that contribute to my current position as Executive Director. With both lived experience and professional knowledge, I remain committed to ensuring that clients receive the support, compassion, and guidance they need to build lasting recovery.

Three facts about me:

• I enjoy being outdoors
• I’m an amateur professional wildlife photographer (@salzoomsin)
• I love spending time with my family
