Profile

Interested in working as a behavioral health counselor, or enter the field as a technician who has 3 years of college training.

Experience

I am currently inexperienced with having previous employment opportunities in this particular field. However I have plenty experience with growth and personal development and have been considered motivational. In that regard, my experience is plentiful and useful to organizations that want to motivate clients.

Education

Rio Salado Community College- Level Certification in Substance Use Disorder education.

Ashland University of Ohio- Major: Communication/Minor: Business Management. I currently have 78 credits, pending the results from the previous semester, which will give me 90 total. I recently made Dean's List at my University.

Skills

I am a great listener. I'd utilize active listening techniques to build rapport and establish therapeutic alliances. My initial training with addictions is advancing as an ongoing student of communication: that is, addictions are tough and the field of recovery needs to have professionals who can communicate effectively with patients to help motivate them in recovery.
