Anna
My job title is Career Specialist. I have been in this position since August of 2012.
My work involves assisting participants to improve their lives through employment, education, and directing them to resources that will reduce the stumbling blocks along the way.
What I like about my job is creating relationships and using my own life experiences as an example that when you put your mind towards a goal the Universe can not help but agree.
Other positions I have held at my organization include Program Assistant Inspiration Kitchens. I am a former graduate of the program I now work for.
In the future, I would like to find a way to re-open on a much bigger capacity TWEC where their homeless who live in the street can clean up their bodies and their clothes.
