About me
I am a highly motivated and dependable professional with strong organizational and time-management skills. I excel at working independently or collaboratively within a team, consistently demonstrating reliability and punctuality. My experience centers around client advocacy and peer support in recovery settings, where I provide empathetic, non-judgmental guidance to individuals facing substance use and mental health challenges.
I am skilled at multitasking in fast-paced and emotionally sensitive environments, maintaining a detail-oriented approach with a strong focus on accuracy and cleanliness. I am proficient in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace tools, which support my ability to manage administrative tasks effectively.
Throughout my roles, I have demonstrated excellent interpersonal communication and critical thinking skills, enabling me to build trust and empower clients on their healing journeys. I am adaptable to changing environments and responsibilities, always maintaining a professional demeanor with strong ethical standards and confidentiality awareness.
My experience includes supporting fellow students through peer encouragement, providing safe and structured living environments for individuals in recovery, and managing day-to-day operations of transitional recovery houses. I am certified in Narcan administration and knowledgeable in 12-step recovery principles, which enhance my ability to contribute meaningfully to recovery-focused programs.
Currently, I am pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in Human Services with a focus on Addiction Counseling, maintaining a 4.0 GPA and gaining hands-on experience through internships. I am committed to promoting recovery-oriented environments and advocating for client needs to support academic and personal success.
