My background for the most part began in personal health care, working for an in home support services registry/call list where I worked with disabled clients of all ages and with disabilities ranging from quadriplegic and paraplegic to blind. Some clients had severe mental disabilities while others mildly so. Earlier I worked with children as a special education tech for a school district. These children were living with illnesses such as autism, dyslexia and bipolar disorder, many with physical disabilities as well. I do and love this profession because I feel that my mission in life is to help those who can't help themselves.
