What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support individuals and community wellness through peer support, care coordination, active listening, crisis de-escalation, advocacy, and recovery-focused daily living assistance.

I'm a State-Certified Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist who provides recovery-focused support, care coordination, crisis de-escalation, and daily living assistance. I completed an 80-hour Peer Support Specialist Certification through RI International and bring extensive lived-experience caregiving to my work.

As a Family Caregiver and Personal Support Specialist, I've coordinated medical appointments, therapy, medication schedules, provider communication, and rehabilitation activities for multiple household members. I supported a family member’s recovery from severe stroke and heart attack, helping progress from non-ambulatory status to walking independently.

Earlier, I supported office operations at Central Valley Construction and supervised fast-paced shifts at Burger King. I bring active listening, professional documentation, client communication, conflict resolution, scheduling, and conversational Spanish to supporting individuals and community wellness.
