SUMMARY:
Professional with numerous years of experience and education working with children, adolescence, and adults of various cultures in different settings such as: education, medical, and psychological fields. Specialty areas include but not limited: communication, commitment, listening, planning, interpersonal skills, adaptability, and leadership skills. While my counseling career started out in 2002, I maintained my status as a substitute teacher in the Worcester public school system, which helped me deal with many difficult situations and behaviors with various children and adults. With this knowledge I can relate more deeply and grasp on to things on a much deeper level and feel I would be an asset in any position that I hold.
