I provide life coaching for clients that need assistance various areas of their life. I like to look at the whole person perspective and coach using behavior modification techniques, art, and other needed modalities. I am also available for other positions or consulting within the helping professions.

I led a privately funded program for homeless and unaccompanied youth in Tampa FL (USA). I worked directly with clients to meet their needs, provide crisis intervention, and plan for housing through the use of data collection, reporting and compliance, to help clients gain access to housing within the system of care. A considerable amount of my focus went to grant writing and fundraising, and supervising interns and volunteers. I was also the Chair of the county Unaccompanied Youth Committee to report the needs of this population to the federal government.

I worked within the Florida state-wide child welfare system to unify children with family members and caretakers.

I offering case management services and housing to homeless individuals and refugees through grant programs funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. I would assess needs, provide crisis intervention, planning and goal setting, provide job coaching. Data collection, reporting and compliance were required to research the outcomes of these programs.

I started at this organisation as an intern during university. During that time, I worked as a shelter advocate in the sex trafficking unit and in the homeless shelter. I was working directly with clients to assess their safety and housing needs. I was hired after university to work as a prevention specialist. In this role, I interviewed, and assessed situations of families that were struggling financially and assisted them by finding funds to keep these families stably housed.
