WILLIE BRANCH

Counselor in Training (CIT)/Clinical Mental Health
El Cajon,CA

Summary

I am a loyal, dedicated, highly motivated, and results-driven individual who is not only ambitious but also an individual who is committed to a foundation based on ethical principles. Although I have extensive experience in the field related to social services and bus operations, I am passionate about learning, and the paradox of challenges is of great interest to me. I am a team player; however, I am just as proficient when asked to work on individual projects. Therefore, I am seeking a position that will utilize the vast amount of personal and corporate experience I have to offer and where I can grow, develop, and excel.

I am a healthcare professional and home companion with a strong history of providing support to clients within business environments to deliver comprehensive administrative assistance. Providing knowledge of clerical tasks, project support, scheduling, time management, assignment prioritization, and customer service. Quickly resolving issues, handling conflicting priorities, remaining flexible, and striving to exceed organizational goals.
