Having worked as a Family Preservation Project Parent Partner for the past three years, I have gained extensive experience in managing and providing support to a caseload of up to 20 participants at a time. A key aspect of my role has been actively documenting cases using the ETO system, ensuring accurate and timely reporting to meet contractual requirements set by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities.

I am also well-versed in providing advocacy, consumer education, resource assistance, and crisis management to prevent housing disruption. Through my work, I have developed a deep understanding of the legal system and have built strong relationships with community resources. This has allowed me to effectively advocate for the needs of my clients and secure the necessary support and services for them.
Furthermore, I have experience in facilitating unit inspections and assisting in the maintenance of property units. This has given me a well-rounded understanding of the various aspects of community outreach and social work, and I am eager to bring these skills to South Coastal County Legal Services.
What sets this position apart from others is the focus on family preservation and the opportunity to work with a diverse and dynamic team. I am impressed by the collaborative and supportive culture at South Coastal County Legal Services and am excited about the prospect of being a part of it.
In addition to my professional experience, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in the same field. I am a strong advocate for professional development and am always seeking new opportunities to enhance my skills and knowledge.
