What I'm looking for

I seek client-focused roles in clinical or community mental health that allow me to provide direct support, counseling, and advocacy while growing clinical skills in a collaborative, compassionate environment.

I am a dedicated psychology graduate currently pursuing a Master's in Counseling in Clinical Mental Health, with prior study toward a Master of Social Work. I blend hands-on service experience with academic training to support clients' emotional and practical needs.

My background includes residential assistance, caregiving, food service, and direct customer interaction, where I developed strong communication, organization, and multitasking skills. I am certified in Adult Mental Health First Aid and proficient in MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

I have volunteer and leadership experience teaching youth religious education and coaching middle school volleyball, which strengthened my abilities in lesson planning, mentorship, and group facilitation. I have also worked in sales roles that honed my relationship-building and negotiation skills.

I am bilingual (conversational Spanish, fluent English) and seek roles where I can apply clinical training, client advocacy, and community-focused support to promote mental health and wellbeing.
