About
I am a graduate student at Rutgers University, School of Social Work. My concentration is in Management & Policy with an area of emphasis in social policy. I have been recently accepted into the Violence Against Women & Children certificate program. My first year field placement is working with children and youth with emotional and behavioral challenges at CGS Family Partnership, Inc., a Care Management Organization.
I am a highly-motivated, ambitious individual with over 4 years’ experience in case management and non-profit administration. My background includes a clean, valid New Jersey driving record, a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university, and several years of client supportive functions in career, employment and community service development. I have strong organizational, technical, and analytical skills that helps me to thrive in fast-paced environments. My skills are developing and coordinating activities and services, program management, and building network relationships. I have been noted to be highly personable with extraordinary attention to detail and a talent for enhancing program performance.
