About

Experienced professional with over 15 years of expertise in various fields that include HIV Program Management, operations and administrative support. I have completed the Community Health Worker (CHW) workforce development program at City College of San Francisco as of May of 2021. During the course of my studies as a returning student, I have had a special focus on HIV prevention and education, particularly among high risk populations. My intention upon entering the field is to leverage the skills I’ve acquired in the CHW program to obtain a position in a community based organization or the public sector that involves HIV patient navigation, prevention and education within the LGBTQ Community. I am also interested in facilitating client referrals as part of an integrated care team to promote health and wellness in the community. The qualifications I have include a strong working knowledge pertaining to the epidemiology, prevention methods, and high risk populations associated with HIV. I have also received training in the areas of motivational interviewing, harm reduction, intake assessment as well as completion of a 4 month internship at Maitri Compassionate Care in San Francisco, California. My experience and skillset includes: • Returning student at CCSF: Dual Professional Certifications in Public Health (Completed) • Confident, self-driven with 15+ years of professional experience in client-facing positions. • Accountable and reliable for accuracy, timeliness, integrity and follow through • Observant analyst able to evaluate and streamline processes for greater efficiency • Patient, approachable trainer able to adapt to different learning styles and explain topics simply • Responsive customer service specialist who takes ownership of tasks and thrives under pressure
