Summary

As a Social Service Worker (SSWI) Immigrant and Refugees graduate, I bring a rich tapestry of experiences in community service, particularly with immigrants and refugees, in Toronto. With a solid year of hands-on engagement under a Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP) and strength-based approach, I have developed into a responsible, adaptable, and compassionate professional. My commitment to ongoing learning, excellent communication, and leadership skills, coupled with a meticulous and organized nature, position me as a dedicated advocate for those in need. Fluent in Spanish and proficient in Office Products, internet, and social media, I am equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern social service landscape.
