Summary
Over the past three years, I have had the privilege of working in a multidisciplinary, recovery-oriented environment. I first served individuals as a behavioral health technician, focusing on patient safety. I then transitioned to working as a certified peer specialist, helping individuals navigate their own recovery in a way that highlights their strengths and aligns with their goals. I discovered a passion for helping individuals create momentum in their recovery, bridging the gap between personal willpower and access to resources, and now I work as a case manager with an incredible team. I enjoy working with staff and individuals from multiple backgrounds and bring a spirit of gratitude, grace, curiosity, and enthusiasm to any interaction.
