Profile Information
- Please share something about yourself, your work, and what draws you to the Inclusion Network online community.
- My career in this arena happened accidentally when a friend brought me to an art show held at a day program in my neighborhood (at that time). My experience that night triggered a desire to learn more about community inclusion and I began volunteering, and eventually working there as a Gallery Manager/ job coach/ vocational skills instructor. 5 years later I am now a Supported Living Coordinator at a smaller, grassroots agency that completely supports and challenges my beliefs. I am looking to expand my network beyond San Diego.
Personally, I am also invested in women's rights, cats, photography and I like making things.
- What would you like to contribute to this community? What would you like to receive?
- I would like to discover more of my own gifts so that I can share them with others and in turn, meet new friends who help shape me into a better person.
- How did you hear about this community?
- I am a Coordinator with Life Works, Supported Living Services and Beth Gallagher is gracious enough to invite her team of Coordinators to attend what sounds like an awesome summer conference!
- What are some of the questions you'd like to explore, or conversations you'd like to have with others in this community?
- I would like to talk to people about how they stay "professional" when dealing with people who may still view others as "less than"
I am interested in learning how to approach others because I can be guarded when meeting new people
I would love to discover some new tools to keep employees motivated and prolong the time between feeling burnt out
I would like to find my niche!
