Laura
As the Employment Service Specialist I offer employment services to the homeless populations served by Berkeley Food & Housing. My goal is to provide participants with the tools and support they need to obtain career oriented, living wage employment.
What I like about my work is seeing participants confidence and belief in themselves grow as they pursue and achieve their employment goals.
I enjoy my work and feel so lucky to be a part of each participants journey to self sufficiency.

I haven't had a bed since I moved to my new unit and it is starting to take a toll on my health. A futon will help me sleep well & have guests visit. More

A laptop will allow me to go back to school to train in the helping field. It would also aid in my search for permanent housing. More
