******************************@*****.***
OBJECTIVE:
Obtain full-time employment as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor or
Customer Representative.
SUMMARY:
• I have 29 years work experience in facilitating individual and group
counseling, as well as a variety of psycho-educational counseling
groups: self-esteem, relapse prevention, recovery, anger management,
rational emotive behavior therapy, stress management, co-dependency,
communication skills, relationships, criminal thinking and substance
abuse prevention education. I have work experience in mental health
(youth residential and adult in-patient) psychiatric treatment
facilities, community services (youth diversion program manager and
family services case manager, and correctional environments (federal
correctional institutions and residential re-entry facilities). I am a
Registered Addictions Specialist #B0704061401, certified by the
Breining Institute.
• From August 12, 2001 to my January 3, 2006 retirement, I served as the
Regional Transitional Drug Abuse Treatment Coordinator (R-TDATC) for
the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Western Regional Office. I supervised
four staff, and together we secured 60 community substance abuse and
mental health contracts. We monitored the treatment progress of 2500
federal offenders released annually to 11 western states and the
territory of Guam. In addition to staff supervision, I was responsible
for treatment authorizations and had the authority to return non-
compliant treatment offenders back to prison. Additionally, I developed
and monitored our annual budget expenditures and approved monthly
treatment provider reimbursements. We also conducted annual on-site
visits to ensure contract compliance and participated in treatment
provider training workshops. On occasion, I participated on national
contracting review and development committees that developed the
Statement of Work (SOW) and Request for Proposals (RFP’s). During my
tenure as Regional TDATC, my office received a Superior Program Review.
• I served as Equal Employment Opportunity Counselor and Hostage
Negotiator and also served in a variety of acting positions in my 25
years of federal prison service, e.g., Acting Unit Manager, Acting
Chaplain, Acting Case Management Coordinator and Acting Drug Abuse
Program Coordinator.
• I am flexible and can work independently or with a team to accomplish
mutual goals and objectives.
