Serving as the Career Development Consultant on a part time basis for the Spokes program this past year has been extremely rewarding. Providing others with the skills and encouragement needed to take a step further in their lives is fulfilling to me personally.

The challenges individuals face can be overwhelming, but by working as part of a team with the Instructors, DHHR caseworkers, and community providers we can help lead the adults we serve to a more successful life.

My experience in Social Work has been more beneficial than I anticipated. Actively involving each individual in overcoming not only unemployment but other personal barriers that hold them back from success has been a great challenge. Seeing people realize they can move forward whether it is finding that job or committing to furthering their education assures me I am in the best career for me.

I have established a successful reputation in our community through the positions I have held in the past. This has helped me greatly when I meet with agency human resource personnel on behalf of our students. During a recent job fair, I was asked to “keep them coming.” This meant to me that our students have succeeded in the jobs they landed through participation in the Spokes program.

  My interpersonal and communication skills, technology and

public relations experience make me a successful candidate for this position. You can contact me for a personal interview by calling 233-1593. Thank you for your time and consideration.
