More about me
I come to Connections with over 5 years of experience working in the community as a Case Manager and Advocate. I am passionate in helping people reach their full potential and independency through utilization of their strengths and resources. I am focused on helping to empower individuals and families to live their best life. My experience has provided me with the opportunity to work with people within diverse backgrounds and of all socio-economical statuses. I am currently working on a Nursing Degree so I am able to work more directly with Hospice patients in the future, as this is one of my passions. I also am looking forward to completing my MasterÕs Degree in Urban Education in the Spring of 2020. I am a strong advocate for education and obtaining knowledge. I look forward to working in and learning the IRIS program with my participants. In my spare time, I enjoy hanging traveling, long walks, and listening to music. My dream is to one day be a missionary before I complete my life.
