With over two decades of experience in the social services sector, I am passionate about empowering individuals and families to overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. As a Clinical Counselling Intern at Carya, I provide counselling and support to clients from diverse backgrounds and needs, using evidence-based and client-centered approaches. I also collaborate with other professionals and agencies to ensure the best outcomes for my clients.In addition to my counselling role, I also offer my expertise as an Independent Consultant, advising and assisting various nonprofit organizations and community groups on volunteer management, fundraising, program development, and evaluation. I have helped raise funds, recruit and train volunteers, design and implement programs, and measure and report impact for multiple causes and initiatives. I am currently pursuing my Master of Counselling degree at Gonzaga University, building on my previous education in Community Rehabilitation and Disabilities Studies and Early Childhood Education. I have developed skills in volunteer management, nonprofit organizations, and community outreach, which are essential for my field of work. I am committed to learning and growing as a professional, and to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
