Personal History

My employment history -or lack thereof- is due to the fact I was raising my Autistic son on my own. I was not afforded the opportunities that many who have a disabled child living at home may have had. I am no longer able to lift patients due to a disability which is why I have not returned to the medical field. 

I worked very hard for my Criminal Justice degree and unfortunately due to finances I was not able to obtain my Bachelors degree. I think of this opportunity as a way to work in a field I have a true passion for. I would be honored if given the opportunity to show my skills and talents to show I can be apart of your team.
