Affiliations
I am enrolled yakama Tribe., but was raised here with the puyallup Tribe. I grew up within the community getting to know many families. Once I graduated from school I started working as a community caregiver with the elders program and also learned alot from the puyallup tribal elders as i worked and got to know many of them. Working in the health/medical field has been very rewarding in itself. I am older now and am wanting a change of direction. You could say. I've always been invested in community health care, social work. Working with children from broken homes. I have first hand experience when it comes to broken homes, and family disfunction. I feel like I can relate, so I can understand a little better their situation. Id love to give it a try if the opportunity were to present itself.
Thank you,
