Summary
Endeavoring to improve the quality of life for those I am involved in has always been a priority for me. With a proven record of excellence which includes 20 years of experience including working with at risk youth and mentally ill adults from a diverse array of backgrounds and challenging personal needs, makes me an ideal candidate. Individual challenges as well as the prospect of working with a team, within a milieu of dedicated professionals excite me. Assisting your organization in its continued commitment to provide quality service and empowerment to the team and clientele that you work with is any area I feel I can excel in.
