What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to make a meaningful impact on youth development and offers opportunities for professional growth in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated Master of Social Work (MSW) graduate with over 8 years of clinical social work experience, specializing in youth services, program management, and strategic planning. My journey has been driven by a passion for providing counseling, behavior management, and educational support to diverse youth populations, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds. I have a proven track record of leading initiatives that promote positive outcomes for at-risk youth through evidence-based practices and collaborative efforts.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in assessing and addressing needs related to mental health, substance abuse, and trauma. My experience includes managing cases to ensure the safety and well-being of children and vulnerable adults, delivering comprehensive case management, and providing psychosocial rehabilitation services. I am committed to advancing youth development and addressing systemic challenges faced by marginalized communities, and I strive to develop and implement innovative solutions that improve outcomes for at-risk youth.
