Summary
I continually contribute to the social, physical, and psychological betterment of those entrusted to my care. First, as a grassroots organizer, then direct care in service to people with developmental disabilities, the elderly, individuals suffering from mental illness, and substance use disorders. I endeavor to add value to the lives of those I serve. I am an advocate for those who cannot always advocate for themselves.
