Social Worker is a title, but I consider it my calling. I have a passion for working with people and using my skills/ gifts to improve their lives. Meeting the needs of each individual I come in contact with is the driving force of why I have become a Social Worker. Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to work with both adolescents and adults. I have been a mentor, caregiver, advocate, friend, listener, counselor, and protector. My experiences include working with adults and youth with mental, physical, emotional and developmental delays. I have worked with teenagers in residential settings in rural Alaska and the suburbs of Chicago. With these positions, I had to manage and care for at-risk youth. I also had the privilege to help open and manage an assisted living facility in Michigan and serve the elderly. I am currently seeking a position in which I can utilize my skills and implement the experience I have gained over the years. I am confident I would be a valuable member of your team.
