What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, mission-driven role where I can apply career counseling, recruiting, sales, and marketing skills to support clients, drive growth, and continue professional development.

I am a hardworking, versatile professional with extensive experience in career and life coaching, executive and technical recruiting, sales, marketing, and administrative functions. I bring a client-first mindset and a record of building strong relationships.

In prior roles I increased brand awareness, spearheaded a lead generation strategy, mentored junior staff, and managed end-to-end recruitment and account management processes. I currently serve as a Case Manager coordinating HUD-compliant supportive services, conducting assessments, and providing crisis and short-term counseling.

I hold a BA in Psychology and a certification in American Sign Language, and I speak English, Spanish and am fluent in ASL. I am seeking roles where I can apply my cross-functional skills to support clients and drive organizational growth.
