Supportive Permanent Housing Case Manager at Northwest Assistance Ministries
I am a Self-motivated and conscientious, degreed social work  professional with 10+ years’ experience in nonprofit social service leadership. Through my socialization, realability, dependability and support, I built successful  teams to accomplish tasks such as tripling social services provided to individuals in need. With the same determination completing an $8,000,000 capital campaign to built an emergency shelter.  

I believe in client centered services to help clients become stronger and overcome their deficiencies. I introduced case management at 2 chapters of The Salvation Army to provide client centered service to help clients become stronger and more self-sufficient.  Likewise, I introduce the use of  Homeless Information Management System to better serve clients and network with other agencies.

Being client focused, I support the National Association of Social Workers code of ethics as a bench mark to the quality of service that clients have the right to receive.  When we focus as individuals and teams upon the service provided to clients, we raise the bench mark of the actual services that clients receive which helps them engage in their own well-being promoting personal growth.
