Summary

I am a dedicated professional with a master’s degree in counseling and a deep passion for empowering individuals to achieve their career and life goals. With diverse experience in retail, psychiatric units, hotel restaurants, and counseling offices, I bring a unique understanding of varied professional environments and the challenges individuals face in their career journeys. My background includes roles as a psychiatric aide and child life specialist assistant, where I honed my ability to support others in high-pressure and emotionally charged situations. I excel at building trusting relationships, providing thoughtful guidance, and helping individuals identify their strengths and potential. With a theoretical orientation in Trait and Factor Theory as well as Social Cognitive Career Theory, I aim to blend my counseling expertise, real-world work experience, and genuine desire to help others into a role where I can guide clients toward meaningful and fulfilling professional paths. My calm demeanor, empathy, and problem-solving skills equip me to inspire confidence and clarity in individuals navigating career transitions or challenges.
