Cristal V
ILS Specialist
I am an Independent Living Skills (ILS) Specialist with Self Determined Futures, dedicated to helping individuals develop the skills, confidence, and self-care practices needed to live independently and achieve their personal goals. I have experience in care coordination and direct support, working with clients with diverse needs, including those living with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and other disabilities, always prioritizing respect, compassion, and dignity.
I hold an Associate’s degree in Administration of Justice and am completing my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice at San Diego State University. My police academy training strengthened my communication skills and ability to work effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds, reinforcing my commitment to person-centered, empowering care.
