HER WORK
Child Welfare

Routinely engaged with regional leaders of the Department of Family Protective Services (DFPS) about the disproportionate representation of children of color in the state’s foster care system

Championed efforts to build a comprehensive service delivery continuum to improve continuity and access to services for parents, families, and kinship resulting in increased reunification with their children who are involved in the state’s foster care system

Led the efforts resulting in the creation of a dual systems task force involving a partnership with the state’s child welfare agency and Harris county’s juvenile probation agency to address neglectful and abusive practices affecting dual systems involved youth

Strategized and mobilized a successful plan that led to affected parents accused of medical abuse confronting trafficking of their children by financially incentivized hospitals into the child welfare system
