I have experience in overcoming personal challenges, including significant time in the prison system, mental health facilities and have experienced homelessness at a young age . I have developed resilience and a strong skill set in crisis management and support. Committed to leveraging these experiences to assist others facing difficult circumstances. Passionate about community service and dedicated to making a positive impact. This would be a good opportunity to give back into the community and make a positive impact and provide compassion and empathy for people in the same circumstances to which I have myself experienced to which I am passionate about.
Whilst incarcerated in prison I took on a role as a young offenders career that entailed talking to young offenders who came in to custody after committing a crime. This included monitoring and observing their presentation, giving advice and support, ensured that they were provided with the appropriate care and ensured their safety whilst in custody. The job role also included speaking to students who came to visit about my own personal experience and advice them of the repercussions of committing a crime and motivate them to make better choices. I completed various programs within the prison system that gave me more knowledge on how to be more effective in my job role.
