SUMMARY

Deeply rooted compassion in the Behavioral and Mental Health environment, with a clear understanding of the vital need in proactive care. Over the past 30 years, I have experienced both Additions and Mental Illness in my own family, which is what led me to the Human Services field academically. Of all the Knowledge and Wisdom I have gained through life experiences and within the pages of any books, the most important attribute of our human nature is the ability of “Helping Others.” I look forward to having the opportunity to do just that with Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
