Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for cultivating strategic partnerships with community organizations, as well as for delivering patient-centric care and innovating new and effective processes, I have a history of contributing directly to organization success throughout my career. Professional focal points include social work, community education, program management, technology solutions, cross-functional team leadership, partnership development, employee training and development, student growth, data analysis, counseling, recovery planning, trauma-informed therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, patient-centered care, school violence intervention and prevention, child abuse identification, mandated reporting, research, and project management.
