Summary

To obtain a position utilizing my years of experience in the field of Recovery. My career needs have lessened a bit in recent years and I would choose employment with somewhat less demand. I am conscientious, productive, adept in customer/patient relations and very resourceful. My experience in the area of Recovery - both on a personal and professional level would be a valuable asset. I have developed a strong work ethic over the years and feel I would be an asset to any company that might employ me.
