As a dedicated and compassionate student pursuing post-graduation in the Concurrent Disorder program at Mohawk College, I am deeply committed to making a positive impact on individuals facing the complex challenges of concurrent disorders. My academic focus on developing counseling skills, fostering healthy lifestyles, Trauma Informed Care, Harm Reduction, understanding Social Determinants of Mental Health and pharmacology (CD) has equipped me with a solid foundation in understanding the intersection of mental health and substance use issues. Eager to apply my academic knowledge in a real-world setting, I am prepared to bring energy, empathy, and a strong work ethic to the challenging and rewarding field of concurrent disorders.

• As a part of my Placement, I had the opportunity to work at Hamilton Urban Core Community Center.

• During my placement at Hamilton Urban Core, I gained valuable insights into engaging with diverse urban communities and understanding their needs. I learned about social services for individuals facing homelessness, poverty, addiction, and mental health issues. This deepened my understanding of case management techniques, including assessment and advocacy, to ensure clients received the necessary support. I also explored harm reduction strategies to respect autonomy while addressing substance use. Training in trauma-informed care and crisis intervention equipped me to provide empathetic support. Collaborating with community partners and advocacy efforts enhanced my networking skills and allowed me to address systemic issues for marginalized communities. Mohawk College-2024.
