Summary
I have been working in the health field over 15yrs. First started as a nurses home health Aide and wanted a different path and became a MHS with Behavioral Health.

Currently an employee at Sutter Health Kahi Mohala which will end July 1st because we have been purchased by Queens. Committed myself for 10 yrs with Kahi and loved everything about it. I would like to continue my skills, knowledge, and heart with being in mental health.
