Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate individual that graduated the Child and Youth Care program in June 2024. Throughout my studies I have developed skills in supporting the developmental, emotional, and social needs of young people. I have a strong understanding of trauma-informed practices, advocacy, restorative justice principles, and keen interest in bridging care and criminal justice systems. I am confident in collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to promote resilience and positives outcomes for at risk youth.

In the workplace I am adaptable to various settings and change. I am a creative and motivated worker that enjoys working alongside others as well as alone. As an employee I take pride in my organization skills, creativity, problem solving, and collaboration.
