About

With a Bachelor of Health Studies from the University of Florida, I have cultivated a diverse skill set through various roles. As a Family Advocate at Eastchester Family Services, I excel in coordinating quality care for clients with mental health and substance abuse challenges, enhancing their independence and community inclusion. My role involves active listening, clear communication, and problem-solving to help families access essential resources. Previously, I served as a Marketing Content Specialist at SEMpress Digital, where I developed and executed marketing strategies, optimized content for SEO, and managed social media. My experience also includes a student internship at UF Health Shands Hospital, where I provided patient care, managed clerical tasks, and educated new mothers on breastfeeding. This blend of healthcare and marketing experience equips me to effectively support individuals and families in navigating complex situations.
