As the Assistant Director and Aftercare Case Manager for Safe Harbor’s runaway and homeless shelter, Zach’s Place, my role is to assist children and their families after they leave our shelter with services, including applying for benefits, obtaining educational needs, creating service plans, and ensuring they are in a safe and stable home environment.
My position is the most rewarding job I can imagine. When I am driving home after work, I often reflect upon the individuals I met with during the day. I think about the challenges they have faced, the progress they have made, and how I can further help them. I hope that when they leave my office they feel safe, stronger, empowered, and happier.
The best part of working at Safe Harbor is knowing that each day I have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of those we serve. Working with children and youth is my passion. Nothing excites me more than witnessing those we help transition into productive adults and great citizens of the world.
I am extremely proud and grateful to be a part of this organization and community.
