Summary
I have been working as a social worker for the past 3 and a half years. In my role, I have been working alongside individuals and families who come through our non-violence space, safety referrals, budgeting, as well as providing advocacy for families with work and income. My passion has always been helping individuals grow in confidence and willingness to become better versions of themselves and live independently.
