Kristen Irizarry

Director of Professional Development

Kristen graduated from Cedar Crest College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. Since then, she has developed a well-rounded expertise in social services, working in Psycho-social Rehabilitation, Assertive Community Treatment, and Child Welfare Case Management Services.

In 2008, Kristen accepted a position as a Family Resource Specialist with JusticeWorks. Within a year, she was promoted to Supervisor. She quickly moved up the ranks to Assistant Director of Lehigh and Northampton Counties. As the Assistant Director, she was involved in implementing the Nurturing Parenting Program in Northampton County, and the Thinking for a Change program in Lehigh County.

In 2013, her skills and accomplishments made her the perfect fit to become the Program Director of our Lehigh and Northampton County programs. Kristen oversees the day to day functions of over ten specialized programs and is on the forefront of best practice approaches to support the youth and families of the communities she serves.
