What I'm looking for
I am a motivated professional dedicated to establishing meaningful connections that enhance organizational reach and revenue.

In addition to my role at CareerSource Hillsborough, I actively contribute to the Florida Self-Advocates Network’D as a Fellow, where I provide technical assistance and develop engaging content for statewide calls. My commitment to advocacy is further demonstrated through my work with various organizations, including serving as an ambassador for ABLE United, where I host events and network with disability organizations to promote resources for individuals with disabilities.
