I hope this start of 2007 finds all of you prosperous and excited about the opportunities of this new year. I know I am excited about my new challenges because effective December 31, 2006, I have left Eckerd Youth Alternatives Inc. and my marketing responsibilities for their private programs. Although I will miss the working relationships I had with Richard Wentworth and the staff at the Eckerd Deerlodge program in Tennessee, it is time to take a break and consider some other opportunities that might better fit my future plans.

I appreciate all the support from Educational Consultants, programs and other professionals I have had the privilege of working with while I was with Eckerd, many of whom I had originally met while working in Admissions with Three Springs.

After almost ten years working in admissions and marketing in the private residential network of schools and program for teens with problems at both Eckerd and Three Springs, I need to take a break, but hope to return to this work in the future. I hope to keep in touch with many of you, so please feel free to contact me, especially if you have any concerns or questions about clients I have worked on with you.
