Summary

Dynamic Child & Youth Advocate with extensive experience at Foster Kinship, deeply committed to promoting positive, trauma-informed care. As a trained TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) practitioner, I actively implement TBRI strategies within childcare settings to create supportive, healing environments for children. I am skilled at engaging with caregivers, offering insightful feedback on best practices that work well with children, and fostering strong partnerships to ensure each child’s needs are met with compassion and care. My goal is to empower both children and caregivers through practical, evidence-based strategies that support emotional and developmental well-being.
