Summary

I’m seeking employment that will utilize my professional experience and skills that include establishing good working relationships with clients; client advocacy; accessing government and community assistance for clients; charting; admitions and discharges, medical case management, and far more. During my professional career I have experienced behavioral health and medical settings and have performed many clinical and nonclinical roles. I provide compassionate and individualized care to seniors, adults, children, and those with special needs. It's important to address a gap in my work history due to personal/family medical issues. However, I can assure you that during this time, I have taken the initiative to stay updated on advancements through online courses, webinars, and relevant literature. This gap has strongly reinforced my resilience, adaptability, and commitment to my work. Throughout my career, diversity and inclusivity have been the norm, and to all my positions I bring my innate optimism, positive thinking, and hard work ethic.
