Renae has over 20 years of experience in mental health and community development. Her experience ranges from working in schools, residential treatment and psychiatric care facilities to developing and soliciting funding for multi-million-dollar health and human service programs.
Her leadership is essential to supporting the healing of trauma. Specifically, associated with the adverse effects of racial disrimination and poverty.
