Summary

Registered Social Worker looking to relocate to Sudbury, who has a compassion for supporting older adults. Through education and employment, I have developed excellent interpersonal and communication skills, problem solving skills and organizational skills. I am highly capable of working independently and in a collaborative team setting and I strive to provide acute attention to detail. More specifically, through the position as a Community Initiative Coordinator with the City of Brantford, I've had the opportunity to dive in to community development and project management, while specializing work on the Corporate Age-Friendly portfolio. Processes such as project planning, research, networking, grant writing, developing evaluations, budget management and report writing have become important learned skills that I intend to bring into the role as Mental Health and Dementia Coordinator.
