Compassionate professional with expertise in trauma-informed care and conflict resolution. Competent and friendly face for customer interaction. I have been displaced in life before and understand first hand how important it is for the helpers you rely on to be compassionate and knowledgeable. Maintaining dignity in a moment where you can feel so very stigmatized is a gift I plan to pay forward.
