Peer Support

I like to help people live their best life, while it helps me heal my past childhood traumas. I think kindness matters and smiling helps too!

Through out life i have taken odd jobs while keeping a full time job. My odd jobs in helping others weather is volunteering at various places such as peer support and data entry (Equinox, Pura Vida, Tropical (Counseling centers) giving peers in groups rides to the food pantry, Social Services, Court House for Custody Cases, taking to-from jobs, Workforce Solutions, taking children to daycare if need be.  ( I helped a couple young mothers keep their children by assisting with rides and and monetary help out of pocket to prove they were suitable mothers).

*During Covid I helped at the immigration holding camps as an interpreter and some data entry mostly filling out document forms.

I like to help children live their best life and sometimes parents need help making it happen. I like to put in my grain in the world. 

*I have attended the BE HUMAN work shop and I have sat in, in numerous groups ranging from peer support, drug addiction, parenting, anger management and, basic automotives course. I just like to help and always eager to learn new skills to add to my Jack of all traits.

I am a fast learner, and i like to get projects done. Cleaning, organizing, dusting and smiling are my thing! 

My favorite phrase would have to be ....."it will work out".
