What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support individuals in crisis, with a focus on community engagement and mental health advocacy.

I am a dedicated professional with a background in law enforcement, human services, and mental health counseling. My experience includes working as a Neighborhood Coordinator Operations with the Baltimore City Police Department, where I built trust-based relationships between the community and law enforcement. I have a proven ability to de-escalate high-stress situations and provide trauma-informed care to individuals in crisis.

Currently pursuing an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I have hands-on experience in community outreach, victim support, and social services. I am committed to equity and compassion, empowering individuals during their most vulnerable moments. My work has involved collaborating with various stakeholders to improve public safety and wellness, and I am passionate about making a positive impact in my community.
