Summary
Fear not change: Seeking to expand my horizons in this ever changing world.
My career progression story can be summarized by this: I have a strong drive to help people have a positive experience in this difficult life. Cause-driven by a positive outlook. Being authentic. Non-judgemental. Naturally skilled at relationship-building with a historically difficult population of folks difficult to get along with. Exceptional realism and presence with people, they feel seen and appreciated. My positive energy is contagious and can be extremely motivating to encourage healthy life changes.
