I have various experience in the advocate/teacher /senior fields. Currently, I am working for the state as a teacher aide and I am a volunteer patient advocate for a foundation advocating for various children's issues. I have been a preschool teacher and elementary teacher. I have worked in senior care and the mental health field. I have taught preschool for 13 years, and have dealt with various children and ages. In the senior care field I have dealt with various seniors in various settings as a CNA/Home Health Aide, including my own family member for 10 years. I have my Master's Degree in Counseling in the Mental Health field. At my Master's counseling internship I have had various experience with the mentally ill population, counseling them and helping them through their life's journey.
