Additional Information
My name is Samantha Ephraim, I am a wife and a mother of two boys. I lived my whole life in Eswatini. I moved to the USA two years ago and l am ready to start a new career. I have always had interest in working under the criminal justice. The skills l acquired working with different clients as a Beautician, and Care giver will translate seamlessly to my duties as a Residential Officer. In my previous role, I was responsible for keeping track of medical records and progress reports for my patients, which required accuracy and excellent report writing skills to ensure successful communication regarding the patient's care. My long term goal is to enroll in a community college to study Criminal Justice.
