Summary
Recent graduate looking to break into the social services field in a meaningful way. Despite a lack of direct work experience, I have a wealth of experience that includes working with mental illness, addiction, homelessness, financial struggle, and complex family dynamics. I'm confident in my ability to work with all ages, and wish to continue learning as much as possible to ensure I'm well equipped to help all groups and individuals I may work with.
