Work HistoryI have worked in numerous settings over the last 16 years, from homeless shelters to being a care manager in the community for clients with mental illness to doing individual therapy. Through all these roles I have gained the knowledge that we have to meet others where they are. We cannot force others to change, and we can only focus on the changes we want to make within ourselves. We all have goals in life and need support and guidance to achieve those goals. In my role as Assistant Program Director in a care management agency I feel I was able to improve on my communication, time management and problem-solving skills and I was able to help my coworkers work on these skills as well.
