Summary

Looking for a new professional challenge in the dissipation of care in to vulnerable or at-risk groups.

I have excellent oral and non-verbal communication skills that allow me to interact optimally with clients in the housing setting. Furthermore, I am a determined, self-driven, and competent individual who is committed to helping the less fortunate access housing resources. Given that I understand the struggles of transitioning from homelessness into stable housing, I have an Associate’s Degree in Social Work, and 300 hours of Housing Specialist Experience, I am better placed to serve financially limited individuals. Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry-level Job Title position. Ready to help team achieve company goals. Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
