Summary

I have always had a drive to work & provide my best. In 2012 my client was put on a new medication that changed his mental state. The client had a physical altercation with another staff member & in the process of breaking up the incident, my neck was broken. I hold no ill will towards my client and we enjoy seeing each other around town.

It took me many surgeries and many years to get back to my physical self. I am ready and well to fully embrace working again for a good company. I would like to get off of SSDI. I miss engaging with a variety of people and putting my compassionate skills to work.
