Summary
I have a proven track record managing a service during times of change. I have the ability to design and deliver complex care packages for vulnerable young people. I integrate Tulsa’s work into all service areas while maintaining strong links and pathways with community partners. I highly value the cohesiveness of the wider Tusla team in achieving the agency's goals and developing the best possible services for young families and young people in Cavan Monaghan.
