Summary

I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am looking to expand my skills and work as a Recovery Support Specialist. I have taken the training with Hartford Healthcare/DMHAS and Dr. Karen Kangas. I am also a certified sexual assault and domestic violence counselor. Previously my background was in nursing and I have personal lived experience which I can share as well. I have basic life support, cpr and opioid reversal certifications. I am looking forward to the opportunity to use all of my skills and experience in the recovery field.
