Summary

I believe promoting to a Supervising Youth Counselor 1 would be a great next step in my career with LHS/CLS & the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Since my first day here I believe that I have done my best to learn from the staff members before me and have demonstrated that I can be relied and depended on no matter what job might be asked of me. I truly enjoy what I do every single day, and I hope to be able to continue to grow throughout my career here at LHS/CLS.
