Summary

Hello. My name is Porshia Hollister. I have had impaired vision for the past couple of years, but that did not stop me from achieving my past, present, and future goals. I am all about helping others. For a while, I was only into customer services, but I knew that the strong compassion I had for an individual's well-being required me to further my education. I received my associate degree in human service hoping to counsel and help families get through challenging times. Customer service and human service go hand in hand allowing me to help those in need. I get along well with others, I take my job very seriously, I am patient, I have respect for others, very dependable, and true to myself as well. My health condition has made me stronger in ways that I never knew was possible. I kept going and will continue to push. Especially when giving the chance.
