What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to advocate for vulnerable populations and foster community partnerships.

With over 15 years of extensive expertise in high-risk case management and team leadership, I have honed exceptional skills in conflict resolution, client advocacy, and cross-team collaboration. My commitment to ensuring effective service delivery and compliance with performance metrics has been a cornerstone of my professional journey. I am passionate about fostering professional development and coordinating with community partners to enhance client support.

Throughout my career, I have led teams in high-risk case management, collaborating with staff to evaluate the needs of at-risk youth and families. My approach includes utilizing family team meetings to build consensus, develop action plans, and address concerns. I have consistently monitored performance metrics, achieving measurable compliance improvements while guiding staff development through training and performance evaluation.

My experience spans various roles, including my current position as a Supervising Family Service Specialist II, where I focus on improving service outcomes through community collaboration. I am dedicated to seeking innovative solutions that enhance organizational outcomes and ultimately support the vulnerable populations I serve.
