What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with over 23 years of experience in family support, vocational counseling, victim advocacy, and children/youth services. My strong case management abilities allow me to effectively handle large workloads while leveraging my interpersonal and communication skills to build rapport with diverse clientele. I excel at assessing client needs and identifying resources to facilitate positive outcomes, demonstrating my commitment to serving vulnerable populations.
Throughout my career, I have developed extensive professional expertise in child abuse topics, domestic violence, and mental health. My experience includes providing crisis intervention services as a Mobile Crisis Specialist, collaborating with mental health professionals, and coordinating follow-up care. I have also served as a Juvenile Probation Officer, where I focused on rehabilitation and community reintegration for juvenile offenders, and as a Child Protection Investigator, ensuring the safety and well-being of at-risk children.
My educational background includes a Bachelor's in Psychology and I am currently pursuing a Master's in Mental Health and Wellness with an emphasis on Family Dynamics. I am committed to continuous professional development, having completed numerous trainings in domestic violence intervention, crisis management, and child trauma. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.
