What I'm looking for
My name is Nikayla Russ, and I am a dedicated community support specialist with a passion for helping individuals succeed in their personal and professional lives. Currently, I work at EverWell Community Health, where I focus on providing psychiatric supportive treatment. My role involves identifying and accessing necessary services for individuals, helping them improve their integration within the community, and fostering their contributions to family and work environments.
In addition to my work at EverWell, I have experience in various roles that have honed my skills in communication, conflict resolution, and team building. As a youth cheerleading coach, I have developed strong leadership abilities and the capacity to create a positive cultural environment. My previous experience as a shift leader at Dunkin Donuts further solidified my ability to manage teams and ensure excellent customer service. I am committed to continuous learning and growth, currently pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Education at The University of Akron.
