What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to advocate for individuals and connect them with essential resources, fostering a supportive environment for personal growth.

I am a compassionate and adaptable Caregiver, Peer Support Specialist, and Personal Recovery Coach with extensive experience in providing empathetic, person-centered support. My journey has been dedicated to assisting individuals through various stages of recovery, offering guidance, emotional support, and practical solutions tailored to their unique needs. I excel at fostering trust, encouraging independence, and creating a safe, supportive environment for those I work with.

Currently, I serve as a Peer Recovery Coach at Telecare Corporation, where I facilitate skill-building group sessions and monitor residents' progress. My commitment to professional development drives me to refine my facilitation techniques and stay current on mental health strategies to enhance client support and care. I also facilitate support groups for adults through NAMI, where I create an inclusive environment that encourages open expression and personal growth.
