Passionate and self-driven MSW graduate with a strong affinity for working with people - a true

describe me: effortless communicator, empathic listener, uncanny ability to get along with just
about anyone. Thoroughly enjoy working with diverse populations and know how to meet clients
where they are at without judgment. Experience working with patients and families who were
facing insurmountable life changes. I strive to help make the mountains climbable.
