Prerna Kurup

As s passionate and dedicated recent graduate with a Bachelor of Human Services from EQUALS International University, I am committed to delivering exceptional care and support. With hands-on experience in implementing evidence-based interventions, I am skilled in leveraging diverse resources to assess and meet the unique needs of vulnerable populations, building strong and trusting relationships with individuals from all walks of life. I excel in leading compassionate teams, navigating high-pressure environments with grace, and ensuring meticulous database management and recordkeeping. As a trusted liaison between clients and service providers, I facilitate clear communication and assist clients with complex documentation, always prioritizing their dignity and well-being. Driven by a deep desire to continuously enhance my leadership skills and adapt to the evolving needs of the field, my ability to lead with empathy, coupled with strategic organizational skills and a genuine understanding the challenges of vulnerable people, makes me a valuable asset in advancing and enriching human services. I am eager to bring my heartfelt dedication and expertise to a role where I can make a meaningful impact.
