Summary

I am poised to use my Peer Specialist training as an organized, creative, yet humble and proficient mentor. My aim is to assist charges (clients) to reach their prescribed goals and benchmarks. My quest is also to share my tech savvy and exceptional inter-personal skill pedagogy which can promote client/student confidence. Second to my academic success, I'm cognizant that hands-on instruction and individualized support are key components towards wellness.
