Section name
I was blessed with 35 years of working as an RN Critical Nurse across the United States with my last adventure being in California.
As I was making my plans to move out of state when I discovered that my retirement funds had been embezzled by my Broker; I found myself without any funds that resulted me to live off of the streets in Sacramento. In February 2023 I got connected with City-Net Housing. In June 2023 I became a House Leader which I have taken great pride in doing so as I pursue my legal battles against my Broker.
It would be a true honor for me to gain employment with City-Net, that I truly have respected and 100% supported from the beginning of this journey.
