I've worked at North Side Housing & Supportive Services for a year and a half, serving both as the Veterans' Housing Case Manager and currently as the Director of Outreach Services. I manage our Day Support Services Center where we provide crisis intervention for individual living on the streets or in shelter. I love my job because I get to interact with resilient people every day. I witness strength in extreme circumstances and feel lucky to manage a team of individuals who care deeply about affecting change in our community.
