Summary

  • On a personal level, working with Bluelink Safety and Security, knowing that I've made a difference in the lives of people experiencing traumatic events, has been the most spiritually rewarding job I've had.
    What your group delivers to the people aligns with my desire to assist others with providing life enhancing services to people with few champions.
    Dismayed by poor, non-centralized record keeping and the high number of babies born with little to no pre-natal care, my mother, a retired RN/FNP, founded The Mixteco Project in Oxnard, California to bring services to the migrant farm workers and their families who make their living up and down the central valley. The sense of satisfaction derived from working as a volunteer with them is indescribable.
  • Your group is on a similar mission to help other alienated, underserved, and misunderstood populations. I want to be a part of it. I want my next 15 or so years to truly mean something and I think that working for the California Alliance and Full Circle Health Network offers me that chance.
  • I'm seeking a full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.
  • I'm an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude a willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
