As Department Head, the Public Guardian provides strong leadership for the department through effective communication with managers and employees to establish short and long term goals. The office of the Public Guardian acts as guardian for protected people’s person, estate or both, upon appointment of the court. I strive to supervise and coach staff within and enriching working environment to reach their timelines and personal goals. Currently, we are working with the leadership team to review policy and procedure, clarify expectations, and develop a strategic plan that will support or attainment of national standards in guardianship.
