What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my human services expertise while fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment.

I am a dedicated human services professional with a Master's degree in Human Services from Trinity College & University. With over two decades of experience in various roles, I have developed a robust skill set in case management, behavioral skills facilitation, and crisis intervention. My current role as Employment Network Coordinator at MAXIMUS, Inc. allows me to serve as a vital link between employment networks and SSA beneficiaries, ensuring that disabled and disadvantaged populations receive the support they need.

Throughout my career, I have held several positions that emphasize my commitment to advocacy and support for vulnerable populations. From my time as a Residential Counselor at Insight, Inc. to my role as a Youth Care Specialist at South Mountain Children’s Home, I have consistently worked to promote positive self-esteem and behavioral management skills among clients. My background also includes supervisory roles in fire protection and law enforcement, where I honed my leadership and training abilities.
