Cohasset

Summary

I passionately want to help people, and especially those suffering from substance use disorders and other challenges. I am a very empathic and kind person. I am in recovery and personally understand the hardship and challenges associated with transitioning from active addiction to a life in recovery. I have a lot to offer and I am not looking to be paid to help. I am very hopeful to find an internship in addiction treatment. I am a retired business owner and now an outgoing volunteer helping non-profit organizations. I am also a current student at UMass Boston. If you give me a chance, I know I will make a positive impact. Thank you for your time and consideration.
