I've really enjoyed working with people all my life from high school on where I volunteered with a group who helped out mentally impaired men in the community. When I was a young women I was a single mother and I wanted a satisfying job with the know how to help people in need. I didn't want an office job because I wanted to know that I was helping people with various needs whether physical, mental or emotional so that they could live a better life. That being said I had schooling as an Emergency Med. Tech. and had on the job training as a Physical Therapy Tech while in high school and in an outpatient clinic. Many of the patients and clients I've worked with have become like family to me.
