Dedicated mental health and addictions worker with diverse experience.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate mental health and addictions worker currently pursuing my education in this field at FNTI/Canadore College. My journey in social services began with a strong foundation in geriatrics and personal support work, which has equipped me with the skills to provide compassionate care and support to individuals in need.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have allowed me to engage with the community actively. As a Community Support Services Coordinator, I encouraged clients and Elders to participate in meaningful programming, ensuring their well-being and connection to the community. My experience as a Band Office Receptionist has honed my organizational and communication skills, enabling me to assist clients effectively and manage office operations smoothly.
I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, seeking opportunities that challenge my abilities and expand my knowledge in mental health and addictions. I believe in the power of empathy and support in fostering positive change in individuals' lives.
