Summary

I have lived in Lawrenceville, GA since 2019 and before here I lived in Colorado Springs, CO. I moved to Colorado in 2014 from the Marshall Islands, which is a very small secluded island. I am looking for a job that will help me grow and improve in the social work field. I love helping people and finding a solution to any problem they have, even if it takes me a long time to find one. I am a hard and dedicated worker and always put one hundred and ten percent into anything I am doing.
