Throughout these learning opportunities Caitlin developed strong professional and personal motivation to advocate for people’s autonomy and champion for individual’s resilience and capacity by working alongside them to achieve their unique goals.
Caitlin is passionate to continue applying and expanding her educational knowledge into her career, driven by the desire to remain client-centric and uphold her strengths-based approach to practice. Doing so with proven skills in rapport building with complex clients and crisis management.
