I've had the opportunity to develop my skills in a few key areas that are essential in supporting individuals through challenging times. At the University of Northern Colorado Extended Campus, my role as a Graduate Assistant allowed me to refine my ability to manage and coordinate class schedules effectively. This experience taught me the importance of organizational skills and adaptability, which are crucial when working with diverse groups and addressing their unique needs. During my time as a Peer Career Advisor at Metropolitan State University of Denver, I honed my interpersonal communication skills and empathy. I worked closely with students to help them navigate career decisions, providing guidance and support tailored to their individual situations. This experience deepened my understanding of how to connect with others on a personal level, a skill that is incredibly valuable in my current work. My work as a Clinical Case Manager and Recovery Coach at Women's Recovery was where I truly found my passion for helping individuals on their journey to recovery. In this role, I developed a strong foundation in recovery coaching, case management, and the application of empathy in a clinical setting. I worked directly with clients, supporting them in their recovery process and helping them to set and achieve their goals. This hands-on experience solidified my understanding of the complexities of recovery and the importance of a personalized approach to care. Overall, these experiences have equipped me with a well-rounded skill set that I bring to my work. Each role has contributed to my growth and has helped me to develop a deep understanding of how to effectively support and guide others through various stages of their healing journeys.
