Summary
Dedicated Mental Health Specialist (MHS) at Victor Community Support Services (VCSS) with a recent Master of Social Work (MSW) degree and actively working towards gaining hours for Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensure. I bring excellent communication, case management, and problem-solving skills developed over my 10-year career as an MHS and 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I have extensive knowledge of short- and long-term foster care systems and excel in maintaining control through effective leadership, positive reinforcement, and close supervision of group home clients at Trinity Youth Services. I am highly organized in managing files and coordinating paperwork for group activities. My focus is on building strong educational and professional relationships within my field and the community I serve, which has been a valuable asset throughout my career.
