Accomplishments
I spent 23 years in the field of child services. During that time, I assisted law enforcement with the removal of hundreds of neglected and abused children. My investigations and petitions to Family Court led to those interventions leading to the ultimate safety of those children. After their removal, our joint plan at Social Services was to reunite the families when possible.
I am able at this point in my life to accomplish whatever task is required of me. After retirement, I took a certified course in alcohol and substance abuse counseling in New York State.
I recently moved from New York State to Florida to enhance my lifestyle.
