Utilizing what I have learned while studying at Salt Lake Community College enabled me to see the impacts of gender, race, disability, and communication in the community. I bring this understanding to my new employment endeavors, helping me work with others professionally and constructively. Applying what I am learning through coursework at the University of Utah while paying attention to historical and contemporary ways that ideas about ethnicity are instituted, circulated, and made meaningful in society, I can find ways to work to eradicate inequalities in our community.
Case Manager Odyssey House
June 2017-Nov 2020
I provided knowledge and experience I have gained through personal and lived experience to help clients best position themselves for recovery. I find this to be my most significant contribution to my work with clients; combined with skills I have obtained through my studies at the University, it helps me make informed decisions.
Implemented ways I was taught to write progress reports and communicate with law enforcement when necessary. When this is done promptly, it makes the client's recovery more successful.
I have sharpened my reasoning and decision-making skills through my time at Odyssey. I bring this skill with me and to other companies, I may work for. I streamline the process of obtaining resources to prepare for the transition to a sober living facility or family member's home. This phase in the client recovery process can be terrifying and exciting simultaneously; anything I can do will set the client at ease and allow them to focus on what is essential.
