• While working as a CNA with veterans, I provided not only physical care but also emotional support, especially to those dealing with PTSD, depression, or cognitive decline. I used trauma-informed care, active listening, and behavioral observation to support their mental health and dignity. My work required a deep understanding of how military experiences impact psychological well-being, and I often collaborated with healthcare teams to ensure our veterans received comprehensive, compassionate care.

As a Resident Assistant, I supported the psychological and emotional well-being of college students by promoting community, offering peer support and facilitating conflict resolution. I applied core concepts of psychology-such as active listening, emotional intelligence, and behavior observation to help residents navigate stress, relationships, and personal challenges. I also served as a bridge between residents and campus resources, helping them access the support they needed for both academic and mental health success.
