PROFILE

I started doing work in the mental health and

human service field, 17 years ago. I worked as

a Mental Health Worker, at Bridgewater State

Hospital, which until a few years ago, was

overseen chiefly, by the Department of

Corrections, and performed duties as part of a

vendor contract, per UMASS Medical, at the

time of hire. I worked under the Nursing

department supervision, while also taking

some operational cues from the clinical staff.

Most of my tenure at this facility, was under

the MHM correctional health vending

umbrella. I have the vast majority of my skill

set and sense of performance ethics, and

gained a skill set that is unique, to other

aspects of this discipline. I have spent the past

3 years since leaving the facility, working for

Southcoast Hospitals Group, and worked in

Patient Services at St Luke’s Hospital, In New

Bedford, Massachusetts. I also performed

therapeutic group services, for brief time, with

their annex Behavioral facility, In Dartmouth,

Massachusetts (formerly Rogers Psychiatric

Unit@ St Luke’s Hospital). It was there, that I

would reinforce my skill set and experience,

to the clientele. For the past 10 months, I have

been part of the Activity Therapist staff, at
