Objective: Obtain a position as a Bilingual Clinical Assistant, Mental Health Para-Professional or Advanced Social Worker Technician where I can utilize my broad experience to work in related fields.

I would like to provide client support and education about the tools and resources I have gained through my education and personal growth. I would also like to be an example and give hope to clients as it relates to Social Application and Recovery.

My own personal experience in recovery as well as my communication skills provide me with a basis for working with varied client profiles. I am also energetic, optimistic and an educated individual who is always seeking new advance information to deal with my own mental illness (PTSD) and at the same time be of service to others.

Thank you for your consideration.
