Eddy County DWI Program

Community Wellness & Outreach Coordinator

I am the Community Wellness & Outreach Coordinator for the Eddy County DWI Program. I also serve as the Program Assistant for the Teen Court of Eddy County. In these capacities, I collaborate with numerous non-profit organizations throughout Carlsbad to plan and execute impactful community events. I am certified in Adult, Teen, and Youth Mental Health First Aid and am currently working with the Carlsbad Municipal School District to implement the Mental Health First Aid curriculum for all district staff. What sets me apart is my commitment commitment to bringing people together: nonprofits, businesses, first responders, schools, and community members to create events and programs that leave a lasting impact. I believe recognition in Carlsbad Under 40 would not only honor my contributions but also highlight the importance of collaboration, prevention, and mental health awareness in shaping a stronger Carlsbad for the future.

Yet these small, unseen decisions shape the future of Carlsbad and Eddy County for decades. That’s why the Carlsbad Department of Development (CDOD) is la
