About Anita Novey
She spent a significant portion of her career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Beginning in 1998, she served as a Drug Treatment Specialist working with adult male offenders who had substance use disorders, and she earlier spent seven years in Human Resources and unit management.

She values helping people reconnect with their own potential and supporting them as they make changes to guide the remainder of their lives.
