Summary

Over the past four years, I have developed essential diplomatic skills, such as compassion, teamwork, effective communication, and discipline, through my experience in human service roles. After graduating high school, I began my career in human service jobs, where I strengthened my abilities in ensuring the safety of others, active listening, and de-escalating conflicts and challenging behaviors. These experiences and roles have significantly enhanced my empathy, communication skills, and my understanding of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
