What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support individuals in their recovery journey while fostering a collaborative and compassionate work environment.

I am a compassionate and certified Peer Support Specialist with lived experience in mental health recovery and substance use. My journey has equipped me with excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to connect with individuals on a personal level. I am dedicated to fostering hope, resilience, and recovery in those I support.

In my current role at Austin Sobering Center, I provide empathetic support and facilitate groups, helping peers navigate their recovery journeys. My previous experience as a Care Coordinator at Driftwood Recovery allowed me to handle patients with addictions and mood disorders effectively, ensuring clear communication between doctors and patients while implementing patient care plans.

With a strong commitment to patient care and a focus on maintaining accurate records, I strive to create a supportive environment for individuals seeking recovery. I am eager to continue making a positive impact in the mental health field.
