Summary

After years of Healthcare work, I moved onto Career and Technical Education and taught from my own experience. In transitioning to Workforce Development, many of the same skills I learned in the classroom I continue to utilize, such as collaboration, JEDI/DEI standards and documentation (case notes). In my Workforce Development career, I've had clients from all walks of life: homeless, youth, unemployed adults, and aging population.
