I have roughly 20 years of experience attending to the most vulnerable populations across employment sectors. I provide attentive and supportive care to the sick, vulnerable, elderly, and disabled with a focus on hospitality and safety. I have a passion for providing care and services to my clients and do not take the responsibility of being a chaperone for these individuals lightly. Throughout my career, I have gained expertise through schooling, various training, and certifications. My hope is that I may continue providing support to the clients who need skilled advocates to support them in their journey to social independence and stability. EDUCATION
