What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to support individuals in crisis while fostering a collaborative and compassionate work environment.

I am a dedicated professional with a diverse background in caregiving, crisis intervention, and education. My experience as a Behavioral Technician and Crisis Counselor has equipped me with the skills to provide emotional support and de-escalate challenging situations. I thrive in environments where I can make a positive impact on individuals' lives, particularly those facing mental health challenges.

Throughout my career, I have worked with at-risk youth, provided home care for family members, and engaged with clients in various capacities. My roles have allowed me to develop strong communication and problem-solving skills, which I utilize to create therapeutic environments for clients and coworkers alike. I am passionate about helping others and committed to fostering a supportive atmosphere in all my professional endeavors.
