2027 Director at Large candidate statement Why are you interested in serving on RECAMFT’s Board of Directors? I am interested in continuing my service on the RECAMFT Board of Directors to further support the RECAMFT Pre Licensed community. I feel that I am in a unique position to understand and support the Pre Licensed community due to my work as a clinical supervisor for associated and trainees at Kaiser Permanente, and as an instructor in both University of San Francisco and Sonoma State University’s Master’s in Counseling programs. I have been licensed and practicing as an MFT in Sonoma County for the past 10 years and have shifted the focus on my work from primarily being clinical, to working with newer therapists and helping them get established in the field.What are your 1-year goals for RECAMFT? My 1 year goal for RECAMFT is to maintain as Pre Licensed Committee chair. In this role I intend to continue hosting events geared towards the Pre Licensed community, including social networking events, educational workshops, and panel sessions for our Pre Licensed members. I plan to continue serving on the membership committee and the Board of Directors at this time as well.What is your 5-year vision for RECAMFT? My 5 year vision for RECAMFT is to help the organization continue to adapt to the needs of our members in the quickly changing landscape of mental health. The 21st century has brought significant change to the field, and with technology quickly changing the daily lives of our members and the clients they serve, I hope to help RECAMFT make necessary adjustments to best serve our members. Additionally, I hope to continue serving on the board and progressing to an executive committee position, while training and preparing another board member to take over as Pre Licensed Committee Chair. |
