Summary
I find satisfaction in my role of facilitator, and am especially gratified when my work results in a better circumstance for a person or family who might otherwise have continued to struggle with the vagaries of physical impairment, limited resources and regulatory labyrinth. I am especially grateful for the administrators and co-workers who have, through the course of my career, shown the kind of clarity and dedication so necessary to this work, and from whom I have learned much.
