I hope you are doing well. I am writing to express my interest in this position. Given background as a doula, therapist and community service provider, I believe I would be a great fit for this position. With over 12 years of experience as a child caretaker in my community, I have engaged in community building, conflict resolution, and cultivating a positive culture. My certifications and skills include the "We Are" training to navigate race and class in educational settings, "Darkness to Light" training to identify and support victims of childhood sexual assault, "School to Peace Pipeline" certification through Carolina Friends School discussing race and restorative justice in schools, "Safe Zone" surrounding the vocabulary and resources to support LGBTQAI2+ folx, and "Embody Carolina" training to support individuals with eating disorders. All these experiences supplement and augment my formal education. I have a bachelor’s in human development and family studies with Read more a specialization in Maternal and Child Health—which is furthered by my background as a Doula. I also have a year of masters completed at the Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling through UNC Medical School.
