Ashley B
@ashleyb
CASA-certified social work student focused on mental health and substance use counseling.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CASA-trained and certified advocate and a current Social Work student, pursuing my path toward counseling with a future specialization in mental health and substance use disorder support. I bring 30+ hours of professional training in family crisis intervention and child welfare systems, using what I learn to help people navigate recovery with dignity and practical guidance.
In my work experience, I’ve built a track record of de-escalating high-stress situations and managing diverse personalities while keeping environments safe. I’ve also handled operational management tasks like inventory and financial reporting, staying fully compliant with Kansas liquor laws and safety regulations—experience that strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and follow-through.
I’m focused on improving mental health outcomes in my community by combining compassionate advocacy with steady, accountable execution. I’m especially drawn to roles where I can support clients through crisis and long-term healing, grounded in real-world resilience and continuing clinical training.
