About Carmen L.

By the end of this year, 12/31/2024, I will be working my entrepreneurial hours on the Straight-up Care platform. I will have completed a written project. The name and details of the podcast will be revealed, I am excited about all the wonderful things happening. 11/15/2024: • Creating a Recovery Coach non-clinical program for my patients and clients. Geared towards a solution-oriented approach while meeting the client where they're at and helping them feel supported and valued. • Creating a safe environment for the client to approach non-clinical without any barriers of stigma and shame, which is often associated with seeking help. 07/25/2024: • Accepted an opportunity to work with the Straight-up Care platform to provide Telehealth Recovery Coach non-clinical services to clients and/or patients, who may be seeking help. 04/01/2024: • Previously, picked up a side hustle in a dispensary. Completely, different but needed a change of setting. 07/12/2021: • Began working in the non-profit sector and became a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist due to lived experiences. After four strong years, two non-profits, an extended amount of influence, and connections my resources and capabilities grew. Before 7/2021: • Social Media Specialist: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Instagram, Google+, HooteSuite, FourSquare, Klout, Storify, and Quora. • I welcome all opportunities in different areas, however, my interests are in the communication and media industries: print and digital platforms on-site, specifically in my areas of interest (writing, proofreading, social media, web research, fact-finding, and reading analyst).
