Community services specialist coordinating homeless outreach and resources with strong customer-facing delivery.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’ve coordinated homeless outreach with the City of Temecula’s Homeless Outreach Division, connecting clients to housing, behavioral health, medical, and community resources. I also managed rental assistance programs by preparing grant-funded documentation, coordinating appointments, and producing monthly program reports using data tracking and analysis.
Before that, I supported recreation and program operations across multiple City of Temecula roles, from class scheduling and facility coordination to handling patron concerns. I’ve also led bar operations at KOA Temecula Vail Lake and served guests at Woodhaven Pizza and Tennessee Legend Distillery, consistently verifying IDs and staying compliant with state alcohol service regulations.
