She is an expert in the areas of program evaluation, government partnerships, outcomes-based management, the benefits of parks and recreation, and recreation trends. She is qualified to speak on diversity and inclusion issues, having received training from "Harmony."  Presently she serves on Kansas City's diversity team and on the diversity committee of the Missouri Parks and Recreation Association.
