1. I became a caregiver in 2005, when my mother became terminally ill, I provided can for her for 3 years prior to her passing. At that time I developed a new desire to assist individuals that need personal care. As well as my daughter having several major surgeries in the course of 8 years. 2. Being a care giver brings fulfillment in my life, being able to assist another person with their needs or assist with the coping skills of the day. I find that providing care allows me to grow within my self and with others. 3. My most empowering achievement for me would be the learned ability to adapt to life daily challenges, work, being a student and mother while being able to provide have continued compassion and a want to provide care to the families in encounter. 4. I am currently working towards a degree in Psychology with the University of Phoenix. I have worked in various fields of Human Services, my experience ranges from working with minors on juvenile probation to being a client advocate for homeless families, DCFS, veterans and disabled adults.
