What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote entry-level role that allows me to support clients and promote wellness.

I am a compassionate and motivated mental health professional with a B.A. in Psychology and hands-on experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, trauma, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. Currently, I am pursuing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which enhances my ability to provide empathetic, client-centered care in high-stress environments.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various roles that allowed me to assist residents with daily living activities, administer medications, and provide emotional support. My experience at Clarendon County Disabilities involved collaborating with care teams to implement person-centered care plans, promoting independent living, and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities. I am passionate about using my lived experience and clinical knowledge to support clients and promote wellness.
