What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles in forensic social work or legal-social service settings where I can apply trauma-informed, client-centered advocacy, support families impacted by violence and mental illness, and grow toward clinical and forensic expertise.

I am a Master of Social Work candidate with hands-on experience supporting legal teams, social services, and healthcare administration. I bring strong case management, client advocacy, and trauma-informed practice skills focused on families and children affected by domestic violence, mental illness, and the justice system.

In legal roles I supported attorneys in personal injury, felony, juvenile, civil, and criminal litigation—drafting motions, subpoenas, discovery, and preparing trial exhibits while maintaining confidential case files and coordinating with courts and insurance adjusters.

Academically strong with a BAS in Criminal Justice (GPA 3.8) and expected MSW completion in 2027, I combine critical thinking, communication, and adaptability with practical software experience (JustWare, Karpel/Prosecutor) to advance forensic social work practice.
