I am adept at handling many projects and cases at once and I’m very organized.

My written communication skills are excellent; I take pride in keeping accurate progress notes and records. Above all I am a compassionate counselor who strives to make residents and their families feel as comfortable as possible during the transition to assisted living as it can be very difficult to give up one’s independent lifestyle. Patients and families have thanked me for my sensitivity and genuine care during this emotional time.

I hope you will contact me soon to arrange an interview to further discuss how I can contribute to your institution. I look forward to speaking with you and thank you for your time.
