What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and supports community engagement, offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am an experienced professional with over six years in case management and social work, adept at managing sensitive situations and developing effective plans. My background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Queen's University and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Social Work at the University of Manitoba. I have a proven track record of handling administrative tasks while ensuring policy compliance, which has been instrumental in my role as a Child Protection Worker at Nipissing and Parry Sound Children’s Aid Society.

In my current position, I manage high caseloads, ensuring timely progress on investigations and support plans while adhering to strict deadlines. My strong organizational abilities and attention to detail have allowed me to streamline data collection and maintain accurate documentation for compliance. I excel in communicating effectively with diverse stakeholders, including families and community partners, to coordinate services and resolve inquiries. My collaborative approach with interdisciplinary teams has led to the successful development and implementation of actionable plans tailored to clients' needs.

Additionally, as a Board Member for The Drop, I coordinate community outreach initiatives, achieving a 15% increase in participation through effective marketing and communications strategies. I am eager to apply my expertise in case coordination and client support to contribute to return-to-work programs at the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
