Brief Biography:
I am a designated child protection social worker and have been working in the child protection field for five years. I have gained a vast amount of experience in working with children and families on an intervention and therapeutic level. I believe in the importance of providing intentional services and genuine support to clients in order for them to reach their full potential. Over time, as a social service professional, I have developed a special interest in how our personal lives has an impact on our service delivery to clients. Additionally, the mental health field interests me.
