Our Administrative Team

I joined Flinthills Services as the Executive Director in November 2024.  I hold a B.S. in Elem. Education and a M.S. in Educational Leadership from Emporia State University. Prior to being a part of Flinthills Services, I served in public education for 34 years.  Living in El Dorado for the last 20 years, part of that service has been as the Asst. Director and Director of the Butler County Special Education Interlocal.  I am excited to be a part of the Flinthills team which I have found to be extremely dedicated to the service of our clients.

My journey with Flinthills began during my time at Emporia State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Sociology. I started as an intern and soon accepted a position in direct care, which laid the foundation for my professional growth. After completing my degree, I transitioned into the role of Training and Safety Coordinator, where I focused on developing programs that enhance our team’s skills and safety practices.
Throughout my years at Flinthills Services, I have been inspired and have grown as a professional, ultimately stepping into the role of Director of Workforce Management and Development. In this position, I oversee all Human Resources needs, ensuring our team is well-equipped to support the individuals we serve.

Even though my bachelor’s degree is in General Studies with emphasis on Organizational Leadership, I am currently the Director of Operations and I love it!  I started originally in August 2018, as an accounting assistant.  I fell in love with our clients and enjoyed my job.  I stepped away from Flinthills for about 1.5 years and worked part time for Butler County Emergency Management in order to be more available at home.  I came back in October 2021 and have been working in accounting.  I love the staff as well as the clients and love our mission here!.

MGomez@FlinthillsServices.org

My name is Monica Gomez, I was born here but was raised in Springfield Mo, until returning 10 years ago.  I have worked in the medical field for 24 years. I have worked in Med Surg, Cardiac floor, ASU, OR, ER, and Dialysis.  I went back to school 3 years ago to follow my nursing dream and become an LPN.  I have never worked in this kind of setting where I’m not passing the meds or running around like crazy, but I’m learning to love it and love all the clients here. With every day that I am here I try to learn about each client as an individual and build trust with not only them, but all of my colleagues as well.  Excited to see where this new adventure takes us!
