I am a graduate from University of the Southwest (USW) in Hobbs New Mexico. I was fortunate enough to receive a soccer scholarship to accomplish my goal in getting a degree in Bachelor of Science in Psychology, minor Human Relations. As a three day old baby, I was placed into the Los Angeles California, foster care system and adopted by the age 6. I have been blessed to find my biological family and have moved to this area to be closer to my family. Prior to my move, I was an investigator with the Arizona Department of Economic Security with Child Youth and Family. Before being an investigator, I was employed with Child Protective Services in the State of Texas. I hope my qualifications and experiences are a suitable match to those you are looking for in a candidate. Working with family and children is a love and passion in my life. I feel that I demonstrate strong leadership and interpersonal skills that would be the best fit, as I have been given many opportunities to work with children and people of many ages and walks of life. I communicate well to give appropriate advice to the children and/or parents and I am able to think quickly in emergency situations and in those requiring quick assessment of many factors in order to make appropriate decisions. I have many aspirations in my life and I know I love what I do. I believe that my continual work in an environment where I will have the opportunity to monitor and assist family and children would be the right fit for me. I am available at any time to further discuss my qualifications.
