About Alice

My passion for the helping others has led me to this field and has kept me here for over 10 years now. I've been fortunate enough to work with diverse individuals and in a multitude of environments, and this has allowed me to strengthen my skills such as communication, patience, loyalty and reliability. There's nothing I find more rewarding than knowing I am making a difference in the world by helping those in need. I truly enjoy working with people and having that one-on-one interaction with others, and this job allows me do that just that!
