Summary
Dynamic professional with a proven track record at Western New York DDSO, excelling in client support and effective communication. Skilled in project management and employee training, I have successfully enhanced client independence and monitored health outcomes, demonstrating a commitment to fostering growth and well-being in diverse environments. As a single father to a beautiful little girl, I am very open-minded and conscious of everyone's feelings while taking into consideration that others around me may not see things from my point of view, but that doesn't mean we can't work together as a team and complete the goal as one.
