Summary

With more than 25 years of experience in social services, I possess a robust background in supporting individuals with disabilities, complemented by strong interpersonal skills and effective communication abilities. I am a high-performing leader with strategic thinking capabilities, evidenced by a history of increased responsibilities and extensive knowledge of psychological, social, and educational concepts pertinent to assessing the potential and abilities of a diverse clientele. My client-focused approach is backed by field experience in Adult Day Training, Employment Services, and Residential Independent Living. As a team player, I pay close attention to detail and thrive in fast-paced environments.
