While there, Rebecca provided services coordination, participated in the licensing process, oversaw service provider contracts, performed quality assurance functions, managed the program coordination staff, and worked closely with stakeholders and consumers on a variety of planning and program development processes. After a four year adventure in Massachusetts, where Rebecca worked as both an investigator and manager in Adult Protective Services, Rebecca again returned to Oregon and began employment at a private fiduciary firm. Rebecca worked as Guardian, Conservator, Personal Representative and trustee on hundreds of cases in both Oregon and Washington. Rebecca has been employed by the State of Oregon as an Operations and Policy Analyst since 2012.
