What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead community- and youth-focused programs, apply trauma-informed practice, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and use monitoring and evaluation to improve client outcomes.

I am a registered social worker with experience in community engagement, youth development, and program planning and implementation. I have coordinated social awareness campaigns, managed monitoring and evaluation processes, and worked closely with vulnerable populations using trauma-informed and multidisciplinary approaches.

I have delivered therapeutic interventions for child, adolescent and youth survivors, supported first-year social work students as a tutor, and contributed to rehabilitation and case management programs. I bring strong skills in crisis intervention, stakeholder liaison, data tracking, report writing, and designing targeted support programs that improve outcomes.
