The following are specialties for community work that I have direct experience and practice with. This is not a comprehensive list or detail of my professional skills, knowledge, and experiences. As a social worker with over twenty years of experience in social services, advocacy, and activism, working within collective, grass-roots, and non-profit organizations, state and county systems, boards and commissions, working with community towards justice and liberation is also passion of mine.
