What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level role in victim advocacy or community services where I can lead volunteer programs, develop trauma-informed training, build partnerships, and advance survivor-centered outcomes.

I am an adaptable social service professional with seven years of experience in the field of victim advocacy, specializing in trauma-informed care and crisis intervention.

Across roles from shelter advocate to volunteer coordinator, I have developed and led volunteer training curricula, supervised volunteers, coordinated community partnerships, and managed data collection and reporting to meet funder and program goals. I routinely accompany survivors through forensic exams, law enforcement reporting and court, and create safety plans tailored to individual needs.

I prioritize empathetic, survivor-centered service, collaborative community engagement, and training others to deliver trauma-informed support. I am committed to strengthening access to services for underrepresented populations and improving outcomes through prevention education and partner coordination.
