About

I am a compassionate, empathetic, honest, and committed individual. With over 12 years as a public servant has motivated me to pursue higher education for more knowledge based information and certification as a public service provider. My experience as a Social & Community Development officer has allow me sharpened my skills in communication and good decision making. An advocate for the elderly, children, and vulnerable women is one way of demonstrating my beliefs in driving persons to self empowerment. In addition, caring for the sick and the disabled for over 7 years have and forever will be apart my focus helping to mobilize the imbalance individual both psychological and physical. And to my new found love, psychology (Applied Behavior Analysis) which I am presently enrolled in here at Kaplan. This will steer my career into a new direction of helping to assist with behavior change, especially juveniles, women, and married couples.
