I'm very proud of being associated with the Red Cross during Katrina. I was assigned to New Orleans as part of the berevment team but ended up being a government Liason officer determining locations of supplies, gift cards and medical assistance. I had decided working in the mental health field had come to a end after many years. Upon my return from Louisiana a psychiatrist called and asked if I would go and assess a client of his brother. I did, it was decided to have her return home. The executor of the estate asked if I would be her companion. I believe it was then that God put careing for people on my heart. It's important to me to provide quality of life, kindness. I have a out going personality, humor, zest for life. I'm a team player, respond quickly to emergencies and have great communication skills.
