Broadening her experience with the youth, she became a School-Based Case Manager for Cass/Pulaski County Schools. Hope was responsible for case management, care coordination, and life skills training for her assigned caseload. She delivered assessments, treatment planning, intervention, and monitoring of goal achievement within a child’s school and home life.

With not knowing how long the schools would be shut down and not being able to visit the children’s homes, she took a completely different type of job — Primary Care Scribe for Dr. Frieden at Midwest Eye Consultants in Rochester where she was responsible for assessing the patient, performing documentation in the Electronic Health Records, and working with the Physician to deliver the pinnacle of efficient patient care. Hope began working for Smith Sawyer Smith Agency March of 2022 as a Commercial Lines Service Agent and plans to get licensed within the next couple months and make the insurance business her career.
