What I'm looking for

I seek roles in trauma-informed organizations offering crisis work, advocacy, client-focused case management, opportunities for outreach and training, and collaborative teams where I can grow professionally and improve client outcomes.

I am a dedicated social work professional with over six years of experience in counseling, crisis intervention, and case management, focused on empowering at-risk individuals across age groups. I bring hands-on experience in both community and clinical settings, delivering person-centered care and safety planning.

I have led large-scale training and outreach efforts, including presentations to law enforcement, university students, and military personnel, and I have shaped policy through committee work with a statewide coalition. My background includes direct service roles supporting veterans in permanent supportive housing, court-based legal advocacy, and emergency mental health response.

My clinical certifications as a Psychiatric Technician and in the Management of Aggressive Behavior complement strong competencies in de-escalation, assessment, documentation, and program development. I consistently coordinate resources and partnerships to expand service access and improve client outcomes.

I seek to contribute my advocacy, crisis management, and community engagement skills to organizations committed to trauma-informed care and measurable impact, while continuing professional growth through training and collaborative practice.
