What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my community health expertise and leadership skills to make a positive impact.

I am a dedicated Certified Community Health Worker with a diverse background in medical assistance, home health, and clerical work. My experience has equipped me with a solid understanding of HIPAA regulations, safety protocols, and community leadership. I am passionate about improving health outcomes for individuals and communities through effective health management and resource connection.

Currently, I work at the Housing Authority City of Austin, where I assist residents in developing health management plans and connecting them with tailored health services. I maintain over 40 private resident information portfolios, ensuring accurate data management and service delivery. My previous role at the University of Texas at Austin involved community organizing, where I focused on addressing the health disparities faced by black women and their babies, collecting data to inform community needs and resources.
