Training Documentation

Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

I am currently employed on a full-time basis as a Domestic Violence Advocate within a nonprofit organization. My role encompasses the responsibilities of a Night Resident Manager at an emergency shelter, alongside serving as the Children’s Service Coordinator. My professional duties encompass the provision of in-person emotional support to families in distress, both on-site and via our 24/7 emergency hotline. My ongoing professional development includes participation in continuous training programs, notably in areas such as crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and advocacy. My formative professional experiences include a 5 years of service as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at a home health agency, where I engaged with elderly patients, many of whom faced challenges related to dementia and physical limitations. This period of work significantly contributes to my capacity for caregiving and understanding of complex care needs. Furthermore, I maintain my involvement as a cook at a respected vegetarian restaurant, a role I have upheld for over ten years. My proficiency in food preparation and safety protocols plays a pivotal role in ensuring the provision of nourishing meals for individuals seeking postpartum services. My historical inclination towards caregiving, advocacy, and the provision of comprehensive physical and emotional support underscores my enduring commitment to these essential facets of service.
