Presley is a licensed independent clinical social worker, is "excited to join WYFS towards the mission to enhance the lives of children and families through inclusive prevention and education and counseling services."

In a career dedicated to social justice, Presley has provided direct clinical services and managed behavioral health programs serving diverse populations, particularly in communities who have been marginalized because of mental illness, poverty, bias and discrimination, said the announcement.
