About
I’m a professional working as a Case Manager assisting the homeless population in Los Angeles County. I’ve been doing this for over 3 years with lots of dedication and passion. As a child I always wanted to help people, especially the homeless. Today I can say that that’s exactly what I’m doing. Thru my expertise and knowledge I’ve helped many find a place to call home. Participant’s that enroll in this program sometimes have other challenges that they are facing, ranging from drug addiction to mental health issues. When those two come together life becomes much harder and at times many lose hope. For this particular reason I’ve decided to take a leap and get back in school and pursue a Degree in Psychology at Liberty University. This way I know I’d be bringing more to the people I enjoy helping and definitely expanding my knowledge. This will help facilitate more services and bring a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
