Yasmin is a local from Las Cruces, born and raised. She has been with Zia Recovery Center since August 2022. Her time at ZRC began in the Withdrawal Management facility as a full time Rehabilitation Technician. Yasmin did obtain her CNA and has a great passion for showing empathy towards all the clients while they are getting well again. Yasmin has seen the “LIGHT” come back into many people’s eyes during her time at ZRC. In December 2023, Yasmin became Office Administrator at ZRC. She engages with each client daily, making them the priority and maintaining a good relationship with each client. She has experience in Salon management, so the fast pace of managing Zia and the clients is second nature to her. Yasmin enjoys seeing the client’s growth from the first day they arrive at Zia, until then graduating the program. She shared that sobriety is something so many people want but just don’t know how to begin. Working at Zia she has seen that there is a safe and effective place in her community to get clean and sober.
Yasmin states, “Instantly, I fell in love with the culture that Mental, Physical and even Spiritual Health matters to everyone who works at Zia. Seeing that the 12 steps and traditions are set in place to maintain the motivation to stay clean and sober. What an amazing tool for each client to have. Every day at Zia Recovery Center, I feel like I am living out my purpose in my hometown.”
