Jeri Dueñes

Professional with a background in both human development and family studies, along with over ten years of experience working directly with people from all walks of life, I am confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to your team. My career has been built on a foundation of compassion, understanding, and effective communication—qualities that I believe are vital in a social service role.

I hold an Associate’s degree in Biology and a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies. These educational experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of early childhood development, family dynamics, and the psychological and emotional needs of individuals at different stages of life. I have spent the last two years working as a self-employed stylist, which has given me the opportunity to work with diverse clients and tailor my approach to meet individual needs/skills that are highly transferable to social services, where empathy and personalized care are critical.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong interpersonal skills that allow me to connect with people, build trust, and offer support in ways that make them feel heard and valued. Whether working with clients to improve their appearance or providing emotional support, I have always approached my work with kindness and respect, ensuring that each person I interact with feels understood.
