Summary
I am a military veteran and former police officer. I am a skilled professional with extensive supervisory experience. While I helped many, I want to switch careers in order to focus more on direct assistance for persons in need. I have a lot of life experience for my age, and I would like to be part of a behavioral health team that has proven to be effective.
