Summary

I believe my previous jobs and skills would be an easy transition to the Life Skills Worker position at Maple Manor. My position as Caseworker at The Salvation Army gave me vast experience with assisting clients with budgeting, networking services with other agencies and providing as required services based on the clients needs. Over the years I have developed efficient oral and written skills in each position I have held. I also have a compassion and empathy for those who are less fortunate and suffering through mental illness and addictions.
