Summary

I have a natural instinct to help others in moments of crisis and remain calm to focus on the task at hand. I thrive by caring for those who "simply" need help.. even if they don't or can't ask for help. I have gained knowledge through 10 + years of what I've experienced while caring for my clients.

I have learned to enjoy individuals, each for their own unique character. I'm familiar with assisting frightened and at times confused individuals to help guide them with compassion toward a hopeful and realistic recovery. I take pride in "simply"..Caring..and I plan on continuing to pursue this passion I own..to Care.
