Summary
To share my abundant mental health, social, and skills worker experience with my community and the planet as a whole, with the intention of giving any environment the highest level of service possible, while growing to my highest potential.
I have extensive experience in the human services industry. I have a passion for, and gifting in, the areas of skills work training, directing, developing, and organizing. I have also lived and worked in a multicultural, multiracial, multisocioeconomic environment throughout my life, which has afforded me the ability to transcend boundaries with ease and flexibility. I am most interested in moving more towards writing, public speaking, developing, and implementing training tools and resources that enable individuals, families, businesses, nonprofits, and other entities to reach their highest potential.
