About Roberta

I've always been comfortable with people older than myself so my first job as a Nursing Assistant all the way back in 1973 at a Skilled long term facility was a good fit. I'm a very intuitive individual and can quickly assess most people's comfort zones. I'm fairly easy going and have a calm nature but can also rise to a demanding situation with professionalism. I have a strong understanding of both Allopathic and Alternative medicine and I'm Certified in Nutritional Therapy. I have worked with therapuetic diets and, happen to enjoy cooking which I'm very good at. I'm a good communicator and am very good at engaging people in conversations and activities. Always bring to the plate a very high Standard. I was a key player in resolving some complicated Gastrointestinal issues for a client I had... I was proud to be a part of improving quality of life for her.
