Mission Statement
After years of teaching young children and utilizing my teaching skills, I am eager to
return to care coordination/patient services. Five years of working in education has
enhanced my engagement skills, which are transferrable to the work involved with
patient care. I feel passionate about developing interpersonal relationships with
clients as well as collaborating with care teams to achieve health outcomes. I intend
to participate in professional development activities and eventually return to graduate
school for my MSW.
