Summary
After almost 5 years working at a substance abuse residential site, I would like to continue my career in a more challenging environment. I have learned a lot in the behavioral health field and have a passion for helping those that need it. I spent 3.5 semesters studying Neuroscience and Cognitive Science at the U of A and aim to finish my degree soon. I would describe myself as a very patient and empathetic person with good deescalation skills. I am also a very hard worker that is open and willing to do any task asked of me. I have had the opportunity to assist patients in need of the CRC and would love the chance to further my career there.
