Summary

Succeeding the completion of my MSW Program at Fordham University, my initial focus has been on advocating for the elderly and familial populations. I possess a strong work ethic, excellent task-centered approaches, and problem-solving skills. I am proficient in responding to the unique characteristics of individual clients during the assessment, task-managing, and goal-achievement process. Finally, possessing a congenial personality allows me the ability to synchronize well with my colleagues and staff members; by accepting, learning, conforming to operational procedures, and maintaining compliance with organizational directives and requests of supervision.
