Favorite MOA Project
...
My favorite MOA project is Traverse Academy, the nation’s first day treatment center owned and operated by a school district. This project is especially meaningful because it redefined how education and behavioral health can come together to support students in a truly holistic way. Traverse Academy was designed to provide a safe, dignified, and therapeutic environment where students can receive the care and structure they need to succeed both academically and personally. Being part of a project that broke new ground, challenged traditional delivery models, and created lasting positive impact for students, families, and the broader community is something I’m incredibly proud of.
