Professional Profile
Career Objective
To obtain a position as a Hospice Chaplain.
Personal
Throughout my ministry, I have devoted much time to individuals diagnosed with terminal illnesses.
Sitting alongside those individuals and their families, both listening and sharing, I have assisted with
spiritual issues and helped answer questions. I have ministered and provided aftercare to many
grieving family members, helping them process their grief. I have planned and officiated numerous
funerals, memorials, and graveside services. In addition, I am a team player, and a loyal, honest
employee.
