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

would reinforce my skill set and experience,
to the clientele. For the past 10 months, I have
