Tri-County Independnet Living would like to welcome our newest member to the team. Emerald Gardner is the new Transitions Coordinator at TCIL. With a B.A. in Psychology from Cal Poly Humboldt, Emerald is knowledgeable of the connection between independence, mental health, and overall well-being. She’s passionate about guiding motivated individuals, as well as helping individuals find motivation within themselves, to achieve their goals.

Additionally, Emerald grew up in Humboldt County, allowing her to have an understanding of our community and the resources provided. Having had her own struggle with mental health challenges, Emerald has developed the skill of self-advocacy and is excited to extend her advocacy to others. Her educational background and personal experiences supporting herself and others with behavioral health challenges has prepared her to lead with empathy, practice person-centered care, and connect with mutual understanding.

Emerald is committed to creating meaningful connections, and supporting individuals to achieve independence. When she’s not working, Emerald enjoys reading and spending time with friends and family.

We welcome Emerald to your little family of dedicated advocates for the disability community. Come introduct yourself when you find us out and about at outreach, events, and networking.
