Why Healthcare
Working in mental health, I learned quickly that people need someone in their corner. By nature, I’m a very curious person and try to promote positivity and good energy in all interactions. Having these skills allows me to connect with patients, understand their needs, and build a plan to move forward with change and growth. Our relationship is a partnership and I pride myself on creating a safe space, and providing an environment that infuses support, understanding, patience, and relatability.
