Summary
Family-centered care is my passion. Each child and family I work with are unique. I strive to help them with the physical care they need as well as helping them navigate the healthcare system. I am looking for a position where I can expand my knowledge and experience even further. One where my passion for families and my years of experience helping them will be appreciated and rewarded.
