Title: Instructor
Description: I have over 24 years experience working with the 12 steps. Currently I am a student in my undergraduate program for addictive studies. Some of my greatest experiences have been when I was working as a residential counselor facilitating groups and helping clients towards their recovery goals. Additionally, my work with people in an outpatient environment has allowed me to guide clients while they encounter the pressures and triggers of every day life. I have a dedication for helping deliver on some of the lessons I have learned in life so that others may benefit from my experiences.

Title: Instructora/Instructor
Descripción: Tengo una experiencia única trabajando con personas en recuperación e transformando sus vidas. Como madre, he trabajado personalmente para convertirme en un mejor ejemplo para mi hija y para que tambien ella tenga oportunidades como le sea posible en su vida. Actualmente estoy inscrita en un programa para recibir un diploma de licienciatura en estudios de adicción. Mi meta es llegar a servir y representar a la comunidad latina y a las mujeres. Trabajo a partir de un modelo centrado en el cliente porque creo en la importancia de que sean ellos quienes conduzcan el tratamiento y los objetivos educativos. En mi vida personal he experimentado algunos de los efectos que el alcoholismo y la adicción pueden tener en las redes sociales. En resumen, mi deseo es ayudar a las personas a realizar sus sueños y que ejecuten todo su potencial.
Description: I have a unique experience working with people in recovery and in transforming their lives. As a parent I have personally worked toward becoming a better example so my child will have as many opportunities as possible. I'm presently enrolled in my undergraduate program for studies of addiction. One of my passions is to reach some of the underrepresented population in our community such as Latinos and women. I work from a client centered model because I believe it is important for clients to be in the driver seat of the treatment and educational goals. In my personal life I have experienced some of the effects alcoholism and addiction can have on social networks. In the end I want to help people reach their dreams by executing their full potential.

Title: Social Media Manager
Description: I have loved social media my entire life and realized I have a skill for working with various platforms to present an image that aligns with the vision and practices of a company. With New Life Facility I found a company that truly cares about their clients and wants to ensure that their needs and concerns are being addressed. This is most effectively done for many through engagement in the online world. I have a passion for overseeing company’s interactions with the public through implementing content strategies on social media platforms. My duties include analyzing engagement data, identifying trends in customer interactions and planning digital campaigns to build community online. My goal is to use posts, comments and replies to engage with clients to develop a relatable company voice.
