Did yall get hired in the county prior to relocating or did you guys have remote jobs? The job industry sucks just about everywhere right now, but wake county seems to have been on my radar for about a year now.
Curious on what jobs /areas you all came from, what you got hired into, and how are you liking the transition? Why did yall leave your previous states?

TL;DR
B.S. in Human Services (Mental Health, Cum Laude) seeking a mission-driven role where I can combine case management, systems thinking, service design, strategic thinking, operations, process improvement, and AI-assisted workflow design. My experience spans legal case management, crisis intervention, housing and resource navigation, workflow optimization, SOP development, mentoring, trauma-informed care, organizational improvement, and AI prompting for documentation, accessibility, and operational efficiency. I'm passionate about helping people navigate complex systems while also improving the systems themselves. Based in Southern California and open to remote, hybrid, in-person, and relocation opportunities.
Hi everyone!
I'm currently looking for a full-time or freelance opportunity in case management, care coordination, human services, program coordination, operations, service design, organizational development, process improvement, or strategic initiatives.
I recently graduated Cum Laude from Cal State Fullerton with a B.S. in Human Services (Mental Health concentration), but what truly drives me goes beyond traditional case management.
At the individual level, I'm passionate about helping people navigate complex systems during some of the most overwhelming times in their lives. I believe in meeting people where they're at through a trauma-informed, person-centered approach that emphasizes empowerment, autonomy, dignity, and practical problem-solving rather than judgment.
At the systems level, I naturally think about why those barriers exist in the first place.
I'm fascinated by the intersection of human behavior, organizational systems, operations, strategic thinking, AI, and service design. Whether it's housing, healthcare, education, disability services, higher education, or nonprofit work, I enjoy identifying where people fall through the cracks and asking:
Where is the breakdown happening?
Why is this process difficult for clients and staff?
How can we simplify it?
How can we prevent the problem instead of continually reacting to it?
How can we design services that work better for everyone involved?
I naturally gravitate toward:
Human-Centered Design
Systems Thinking
Service Design
Strategic Thinking
Root Cause Analysis
Process Improvement
Journey Mapping
Service Blueprints
Workflow Optimization
Knowledge Management
Organizational Development
Continuous Improvement
Inclusive & Neuro-affirming Design
AI Prompt Engineering & Workflow Automation
AI-Assisted Documentation & Knowledge Management
My experience includes:
Conducting client intake, needs assessments, crisis intervention, follow-up, and resource navigation for individuals experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, disability, re-entry, immigration, family law issues, and other complex barriers.
Connecting clients with housing resources, public benefits, mental health services, Regional Center services, and community organizations using a trauma-informed, person-centered approach.
Mentoring college students experiencing disability, mental health, and social barriers while helping them build confidence, self-advocacy, and access to campus and community resources.
Facilitating trauma-informed support groups focused on identity, grief, communication, belonging, and authentic self-expression.
Supporting autistic children and their families as a Respite Care Provider.
Leading operational improvements within a legal organization by helping eliminate a 10,000+ email backlog, developing SOPs, improving workflows, onboarding staff, and reducing operational bottlenecks.
Independently developing AI prompting frameworks and workflow automations to improve documentation, knowledge management, accessibility, brainstorming, and process design while keeping people—not technology—at the center of the work.
One thing I've realized throughout my career is that I don't just enjoy helping people—I enjoy improving the systems that help people.
Whether I'm supporting one family, mentoring one student, redesigning a workflow, or mapping an entire service journey, I naturally find myself thinking about how individual experiences can inform better organizational systems.
I find myself constantly asking:
How can we make this easier for clients?
How can we reduce barriers for frontline staff?
How can we simplify confusing processes?
How can we improve communication across teams?
How can we leverage AI responsibly to reduce administrative burden without losing the human connection?
How can we prevent clients from falling through the cracks?
Long term, I'd love to bridge direct human services with organizational improvement—helping organizations not only support individual clients but also redesign the systems, workflows, and services that determine how effectively those clients are served.
I'm especially interested in organizations that value:
Human-centered design
Systems thinking
Strategic planning
Continuous improvement
Innovation
Inclusive and accessible services
Cross-functional collaboration
Responsible use of AI to improve service delivery
I'm currently based in Southern California and am open to remote, hybrid, or in-person opportunities.
I'm also open to relocating for the right mission-driven opportunity, particularly to:
Wake County, North Carolina (Raleigh, Cary, Morrisville)
Chesapeake / Hampton Roads, Virginia
Greater Boston / Massachusetts
That said, I'm very open to hearing about opportunities outside of those locations as well. Those are simply my preferred relocation areas, not my only ones. If you think my background could be a good fit for your organization, I'd genuinely love to connect and learn more.
If your organization is looking for someone who enjoys working directly with people while also identifying opportunities to improve the systems that serve them, I'd love to connect.
Whether the role is in case management, care coordination, housing navigation, student success, operations, program coordination, service design, organizational development, strategic initiatives, healthcare, disability services, nonprofit leadership, or AI-enabled operations, I'm passionate about creating more accessible, human-centered systems that improve both the client and employee experience.
Feel free to comment or send me a DM. Even if you don't have an opportunity yourself, I'd greatly appreciate any referrals, networking connections, or organizations you think would be a good fit. Thank you for taking the time to read my post—I look forward to connecting!
I don't know if I'm looking for advice or just wondering if anyone else feels like this.
I'm exhausted.
I've been chronically homeless for almost a year. I recently made the hardest decision I've ever had to make and sent my daughter to live with her dad full time because she deserves stability. I've been her primary caregiver since the day she was born, so this has completely shattered me.
This past year wasn't spent sitting around not working. I was caregiving for family members full time without pay while trying to manage my own health. Now that the family member I was helping is independent again, I'm being asked to leave because I've "overstayed my welcome." So now I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to live while also trying to find a full-time job.
I have a bachelor's in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health. I've worked in student services, legal administration and operations, administrative support, care coordination, and process improvement. My brain naturally thinks in systems. I see where things break down, why they break down, and how to make them work better for both the employees and the people using the service.
But applying for jobs has become its own full-time job.
Every application wants a different version of my resume. Every ATS checker wants different keywords. Every AI screener seems to want something different. I've been told I'm overqualified. I've been told I'm underqualified. I've removed experience to seem less overqualified, then worried I made myself look underqualified somewhere else.
I'm honestly so tired of constantly reshaping my resume. Trying to squeeze years of experience into two pages already feels impossible, and then I'm expected to rewrite it again for every posting.
I've applied on LinkedIn. I've applied directly through company websites. I've tried networking. I've tried following all the "best practices."
So...where are people actually getting hired?
Is there a job board where you can just upload your resume and apply without rebuilding it every single time? More importantly, where are people finding jobs where an actual human looks at your application instead of getting filtered out before you even have a chance?
I like AI. I think it can improve a lot of things. But hiring feels like it's gone in the opposite direction. By the time I finally hit "submit," I'm already mentally drained.
I know I'm not the only one feeling this. If you've been through it and found something that actually worked, I'd really appreciate hearing it.

My uncle's pitbull, Kendall, came home with dried blood on the left side of her face/neck after an incident at the dog park. According to him, she and a German shepherd were playing, got overstimulated, and then started fighting. He said the German shepherd didn’t appear injured. Not really focused on fault/blame here since no owner info was exchanged — just trying to figure out how concerned we should be medically.
I cleaned off some of the dried blood using gauze with cool/lukewarm water to see the injuries better. I also used Sulfodene wound care on some of the more superficial wounds she tolerated me touching.
Findings so far:
Mild swelling on the left side of the face
A small puncture wound on the neck
Another small puncture near the top/back of the skull
Multiple superficial scratches/abrasions around the face/neck
She pulls away and winces more when the left side of the face/neck is touched
Slight limp if you watch closely
Possibly mild lip sagging/asymmetry? Hard for me to tell since I don’t live with her
I checked inside the mouth/gums and didn’t see obvious wounds or broken teeth
Behavior-wise:
Drinking water normally
Eating treats/food
Barking/reacting to pedestrians normally
Able to walk around and got excited at the patio door
Not crying or screaming, but definitely seems sore around the neck/face
My concern is that my uncle tends to minimize injuries and doesn’t seem eager to take her to the vet. I’m also wondering if he’s hesitant because she may not be fully up to date on vaccines.
For people experienced with dog bites/fights:
How concerning does this sound?
What signs would indicate infection/deeper injury over the next 24–72 hrs?
Are neck punctures commonly worse than they appear externally?
If she goes to the vet without current vaccines, what usually happens protocol-wise?
Would most vets likely just clean/treat + antibiotics/pain meds unless something more severe is found?
Just trying to advocate for the dog and figure out what level of urgency this is.
TLDR: looking cat rescue organizations for disabled cats or any cat organization.
In late April, we lost my uncle to IPF. He left behind a cat who is deaf and unfortunately has taken a toll on our family to care for him. On top of caring for him, we are also caring for my 92 year old grandma who had a recent fall / subdermal hemorrhage, and we are at our wits end rotating shifts, working, with own personal responsibilities and barely able to take care of my late uncle's cat.
He was born deaf, and i dont think he grooms himself well because his fluffy fur often gets matted easily.
As much as we would like to keep him, we arent able to, and it's incredibly heartbreaking to not be around to take care of the cat.
He deserves so much better.
He is timid at first and will swap at people but if socialized enough he would be a good cuddle buddy and loves the pets.
I think he is roughly around 3 or 4 years old. Not sure of his breed.
This video was taken about a month before my uncle passed away. This cat meant a lot to him so I want to make sure he goes to a good place.
Any sort of recommendations of a cat rescue organizations that will take him would be great. And no, I dont have his cat records or anything. I am not sure if my uncle kept up with him shots.
TIA ♡
Currently looking for a good rehabilitation nursing facility for my 92 year old grandma. She had a recent brain bleed and she had a non invasive surgery done for it. Her doc referred her to a rehabilitation facility to help her get stronger and recover, and improve her coordination and balance. She got sent to a nursing facility called Park Regency Nursing Facility in La Habra, but they ignored her all night long despite her screaming at the top of her lungs and her repeatedly pressing the call button so that she can go to the bathroom. Apparently they told her there was some protocol she had to go through to get to the bathroom in the first place? But they ignored her calls anyway.
So I am trying to help her find a nursing facility that takes insurance. (I am finding out her insurance) but I was hoping if someone could tell me some recommendations because we just recently lost my uncle this past week and we are all exhausted and cannot do another caregiving experience while in grieving.
And if someone can also recommend any steps to take regarding this negligence we experienced too. Thank you.
Please help. TIA
