Summary

Proven in fostering growth and meeting the needs of youth in care guided by solid ethics and relationship-building skills. As a parent to a now adult child with a lifelong disease, I have a unique understanding of the importance of strict medication administration and documentation. In previous roles, while leading a solid team, significantly improved participant engagement and impacted youth's immediate and long-term well-being. Compassionate and trauma-informed care requires a gentle touch and caring attitude focused on treating youth with dignity and respect while maintaining a safe space for youth and co-workers. Success depends on collaboration as a team, with the needs of the person served always kept at the forefront. Available for full-time hours during the week, weekends and evenings.
