ABOUT DANIELLE FAULKNER

I am a client-centered healthcare and social services professional with experience spanning reproductive health, clinical support, public benefits navigation, and trauma-informed care. My work is grounded in reproductive justice, equity, and whole-person support, and I bring a strong ability to balance direct client care with operational and administrative responsibilities.Currently, I work as a Clinic Assistant, providing frontline support in a reproductive healthcare setting. In this role, I support patient flow, assist clinical staff, manage documentation, and help ensure that care is delivered efficiently, respectfully, and with attention to patient safety and confidentiality. I work closely with multidisciplinary teams and engage patients with empathy and professionalism, often during emotionally sensitive moments.Previously, I served as a Benefits Manager and Case Manager Assistant at IRIS, supporting refugees and asylum seekers navigating complex public benefits systems. I assisted clients with healthcare access, housing coordination, and financial assistance, helping them establish stability as they adapted to new systems and environments. This work required strong organizational skills, cultural humility, and the ability to explain complex processes clearly and compassionately.My background also includes administrative leadership, program coordination, and operations support, during which I have contributed to workflow improvements, document management, and cross-functional collaboration. I am comfortable working in fast-paced environments that require precision, adaptability, and strong interpersonal communication.My experience as a doula and childbirth educator has strengthened my trauma-informed communication, education, and advocacy. I have led classes, supported families during pivotal life moments, and mentored students—experience that directly informs my ability to build trust, provide clear guidance, and support individuals holistically.Across healthcare, education, and social services, I am motivated by a commitment to reproductive justice, patient-centered care, and community-focused work. I am seeking opportunities to continue growing professionally, contribute meaningfully to mission-driven organizations, and support systems that serve people with dignity and care.
