01 / ABOUT ERIK
Advanced education.
Practical experience.
I bring advanced education in psychology and social work to nonclinical work in education, training, research support, and program coordination. My career connects an understanding of human behavior with the practical work of developing people and organizing services.
Throughout my career in healthcare, community programs, and independent practice, I have supervised, taught, or trained approximately 70 staff members and students, tailoring instruction and guidance to their responsibilities and learning needs. I bring strengths in program coordination, workshop delivery, progress monitoring, and communication with diverse audiences. I communicate fluently in English and Spanish.
I use AI to develop customized learning materials and organize content workflows, reviewing and refining outputs for accuracy, clarity, and suitability for each learner.
My Christian faith is an important part of my life. My interests in mental health, parapsychology, and faith reflect an ongoing curiosity about the mind, human experience, and the search for meaning.
Seeking nonclinical employment in training and development, educational programs, research support, and program coordination. Available for consulting and speaking engagements.
