About

I wholeheartedly believe that my journey through Health Science, intertwined with my meaningful interactions in customer service, has uniquely forged my path toward excelling as a social worker at Like Family. Along this path, I've woven a rich tapestry of connections, each thread representing warm conversations and profound exchanges that have illuminated the immense power of empathy, understanding, and unwavering support. At every step, my dedication has been steadfastly centred on nurturing positivity and delivering a level of service that resonates deeply with people's hearts. My time working in various hospitality-related roles has provided me with a unique lens through which I've learned to cultivate connections that extend far beyond mere transactions. These experiences have been the crucible for the foundation of genuine care, active listening, and an innate desire to enact meaningful change. Amidst the bustling world of customer service, I've come to truly appreciate the art of seeing and understanding the intricacies of each individual's unique story. An experience that resonates deeply with me involves my collaboration with outreach workers to provide essential COVID vaccines to Chicago's homeless community during my tenure at Starbucks. This profoundly underscored my passion for aiding those in need and showcased my ability to collaboratively work with a diverse array of people, united by a common goal of compassionately supporting our community's most vulnerable members. Just as a simple cup of coffee can warm someone's day, I've learned that even the smallest gestures can bring immense comfort. In the role of a Social Carer, I see boundless opportunities to weave empathy and compassion into every interaction, fostering an environment where families can find hope, understanding, and the unwavering support they deserve.^& ^&I'm really excited about connecting with someone in the community through my passions for health, fitness, walking, and reading. If I were paired with someone who loves the outdoors but might face mobility challenges. I'd suggest adding regular outdoor walks to our time together. We could explore local parks or take leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. During our walks, I'd recommend we bring along a book that we could both enjoy. We could read together or talk about the story's characters and themes. If they're up for it, we might even find a spot to sit and maybe do some painting outside, using our surroundings to inspire us. Through this mix of walking, reading, and creative moments, our interactions would go beyond just exercise, giving us the chance to relish nature.^&
