Dependable case manager with 3+ years of mental health experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated case manager with over three years of experience in mental health and social work. My journey has been marked by a commitment to improving the lives of individuals through effective case management and advocacy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I successfully saved over $75,000 by identifying and implementing alternative social programs and government grants, showcasing my ability to navigate complex systems for the benefit of my clients.
Currently, I am expanding my expertise as a Claims Adjuster Trainee at Kemper, where I am honing my skills in claims investigation and negotiation. My previous roles, including Care Extender and Rehabilitation Assistant, have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in need of support. I am passionate about creating service plans that address both behavioral health and medical needs, ensuring that my clients receive holistic care.
