Summary
My professional experience has strengthened my skills in working with adolescents and their families within a therapeutic setting. It has strengthened my ability to remain calm during crisis situations while still being able to support staff and other youths. On going contact with youth and their families have taught me valuable skills. I have strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving competence in this field. My fluent Spanish speaking ability has also made families feel comfortable. Aside from my experience, I am passionate about working with youth and connecting them and their families to resources and services that promote stability and long term success.
