What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to make a positive impact on individuals' lives while fostering my professional growth in the mental health field.

I am a dedicated and compassionate case manager currently working at East Aurora Counseling, where I assist clients in navigating their personal challenges and developing behavioral health plans. My educational background in psychology from Arizona State University, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude, has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to support individuals effectively.

In addition to my role as a case manager, I have experience in customer service as a barista at Starbucks, where I honed my interpersonal skills by interacting with a diverse clientele. My volunteer work at Alexian Brothers Medical Center has further strengthened my commitment to helping others, as I provided support to patients and their families during challenging times. I am fluent in Hindi and Gujarati, which allows me to connect with a broader range of clients.
