I am motivated to be able to advocate for those in my community suffering from sexual and substance abuse. By using the knowledge I have gained through my own personal journey and lived experiences, it gives me the ability to build positive relationships while providing hope, encouragement and support to my peers as they make the life changes necessary to recover from substance use. I have learned many skills in my previous job experiences including dependability, listening skills and maintaining confidentiality which are all necessary qualities of a support worker.
