Supporting individuals and families in identifying, exploring, and obtaining needed services that will enhance their well-being and assist in their capacity for independence and inclusion in the community are some of the values I strongly uphold. I have comprehensive experience working for individuals with disabilities, promoting diversity, inclusion, and collaboration. My work experience has shaped my understanding of culturally diverse workplaces, allowing me to relate well in a team environment, be trustworthy and continuously strive to improve my communication skills. At this point in my career, I strive to expand my horizons and seek new ways to contribute to the community.
