Dedicated child and youth advocate with a focus on mental health.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate child and youth advocate currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Drake University. My academic journey has been enriched by conducting independent research in human studies and actively participating in community service projects. I believe in the power of education and support to transform lives, particularly for at-risk youth.
In my professional experience, I have worked as a Behavior Health Associate, where I implemented behavior management plans and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to address the mental health needs of children and adolescents. My role as an Early Childhood Educator allowed me to guide young children in their daily activities while contributing to the development of age-appropriate curricula. I have also served as a Youth Care Provider, where I assisted youths with special needs and acted as a positive role model, supporting families in navigating the challenges of in-home care.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to fostering a safe and nurturing environment for children and adolescents. My volunteer work at a youth homeless shelter has further solidified my dedication to community outreach and support for vulnerable populations. I am eager to continue making a positive impact in the lives of young individuals.
