Objective: To re-enter the workforce after a hiatus; having successfully launched 4 children to semi-adulthood. My goal is to grow professionally and personally while earning a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling online.
While my experience as a prompt, organized, committed, and dependable employee are fairly extensive, where my skills truly stand out is when it comes to people. Empathy, and a calm, yet friendly and smiling demeanor put each client at ease, knowing that they are the heartbeat of a practice. I understand that each person is important, and not just a number in a computer or a name on a chart.
