What would you say to a potential candidate interested in working for LVF?
LVF is a great working environment. The culture is supportive and encouraging. There is also plenty of room to grow within the organization.
What brought you to LVF when you initially applied?

How has your career grown since working at LVF? Tell us your LVF story including previous positions held.
In the past three years of working as a CPS at LVF, I have had a lot of different experiences with my peers and my coworkers that have allowed me to grow and improve my skills as a peer specialist. My active listening skills have improved as have my collaborative documentation skills. In my documentation, I tend to be a bit verbose, and I am learning to be more concise. I have also co-facilitated several groups and currently facilitate the Drum Circle group.

I have learned to be more flexible. This allows me to adapt to ever-changing situations and provide better support to my peers.
What’s a “day in the life” like for you at LVF?
Every day is a little different. Things can change quickly, so I try to remain adaptable. I have a morning routine, answering emails and returning calls. I then go out in the community to meet with peers to support them in identifying and achieving their goals.
What’s the best advice you can give someone who just started their career at LVF?
Remain flexible and address things as they arise. It’s good to have a plan for the day, but I’ve found it helpful to be open to change and adapt throughout the day.

I enjoy going on weekend adventures with my girlfriend and spending time with my family and friends.

Art and music.
