Summary
Empathetic counselor determined to assimilate patient and family successfully back into their new world. Team player but I am able to work autonomously. Current volunteer activities in various capacities have granted me access to families requiring assistance after an acute injury such as those who have received treatment from Craig, the desire to assist is in my DNA.
