As a Community Health Worker, I use a trauma-informed approach to empower clients through capacity-building techniques, helping them make informed choices while respecting their self-determination. Post-COVID, addressing social determinants of health has become a priority, beginning with a housing-first lens, which forms the foundation for well-being. Stable housing, alongside financial literacy education, is essential for thriving communities. I also co-collaborated as a team, developing educational materials and community events focusing on sexual health, diabetes prevention, and financial literacy.

I have extensive experience performing intake and data entry for 2109 funding, using the COVID Cares database. I assist clients with rental assistance applications, navigating Section 8 housing programs, and gathering documents for asset verification for Section 42 housing. Additionally, I possess basic knowledge of Fair Housing and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). I hold deep appreciation for public health departments and community programs that enhance the quality of life in Dane County and Wisconsin. With a meticulous approach to handling sensitive materials, I ensure accurate documentation and adherence to HIPAA confidentiality standards. I thrive in detail-oriented environments and remain open to supervision and ongoing training.
