Summary

Behavioral Health Counselor eager to start career in nursing. Brings prior experience working within multidisciplinary healthcare teams and a strong understanding of team dynamics and need for communication. Demonstrates strength in collaborative efforts and

adaptability in dynamic healthcare environments. My experience as a behavioral health counselor has strengthened both my skills and passion for mental health advocacy. Supporting individuals with eating disorders taught me the importance of empathy, patience, and holistic care. These experiences inspired me to pursue nursing, where I can expand my role in helping others by addressing both physical and mental health needs. I’m hopeful for the opportunity to grow in this field and make a meaningful difference as a nurse.
