Summary

I am looking forward to joining a brand new team of people who share the same love and passion for our disabled community. Who live to give people with all abilities a good quality of life.

Combined, I bring over 20 years of experience in the Mental Health Industry from The Children's Crisis Unit of Florida, BHB / Mid Atlantic Wellness Institute, Lorraine's Rest Home and The Bermuda Government's Community of Elder and disabled population.

I am eager to contribute to team success through hard work. I am motivated to ongoing education, continued growth and to excel in an establishment that provides a positive and nurturing guide for students physical, personal, academic, and emotional needs.
