Our mission is to provide high quality and professional services
Our Admin Team
Oscar
chief executive officer & chief financial officer
Oscar co-founded Ethical Assessment Center on the belief that every person deserves dignity and the tools to reach their highest potential. That mission has carried him far beyond the walls of EAC — for his advocacy of Spanish-speaking clients he was appointed by the Ogden Mayor to the Diversity Commission, to working with the Utah Legislature to help shape legislation protecting vulnerable residents from predatory treatment providers, to even the White House where he was appointed to the National Drug Control Task Force. In 2027, he will bring that same dedication to the Ogden School Board, advocating for the at-risk students who need a champion most.
Julie
retired partner & strategic advisor
Julie brings over 20 years of experience in the criminal justice and substance abuse fields, having trained counselors and supervised mental health professionals across Utah, Arizona, and Idaho. She specializes in low-risk offender assessment and evidence-based education programs — areas where the right intervention can make a lasting difference. That belief led her to co-found Ethical Assessment Center with a shared mission to eliminate predatory treatment practices within Utah's criminal justice system and ensure every client receives an honest, fair assessment.

Mariah
treatment Case manager
Mariah works closely with clients navigating domestic violence and ASAM treatment, serving as a consistent point of contact for both the individuals she supports and the courts tracking their progress. Her background in Speech-Language Pathology — starting in 2020 with earning her Master's degree from the University of Utah — gave her a strong foundation in treatment planning and detailed client documentation, skills she brings to every case at EAC.
Tisha
online education specialist
As an Education Specialist I help clients who are needing to take a course and be passed off to receive their certification. As I review courses and self reflection videos, I look for ways that clients are trying to use what they have learned in our courses, and how they are using it in their everyday lives. It is important to me to help others out and to see people succeed in life. Some things that I enjoy are being with family, hiking, kayaking and just being outdoors. I always try to push myself to try something new, or to improve on something. But I also like to help others learn new things, share in their accomplishments, and cheer them on.
Janica
english office manager
Janica currently serve as the Office Manager for the English Department. She is the friendly voice answering each phone call and text message that comes into the main office here at Ethical Assessment Center. When off duty from serving our wonderful clients, I can be found out in Nature or hiking a gorgeous mountain trail.

Ali serves as EAC’s Spanish Department Office Manager and plays an integral role in supporting the department’s daily operations. Working closely alongside the Program Director, she helps ensure clients receive quality support and services.

EAC Mission
EAC was founded on the guiding principle that we all make mistakes. It shouldn't be the mistake that defines us, but rather how we overcome it. You have experienced financial, personal, and emotional cost because of those mistakes.
At EAC we ensure a professional setting that is focused around your recovery and not our personal finances. That is why we do not self-refer out for outpatient treatment and make sure we follow our policies to keeping an open and honest relationship with our clients.
