More about me: I am a graduate of Winona State University with a degree in Social Work. I have over four years of experience working in a human services county agency where I served vulnerable individuals from various backgrounds. I have experience working with families/children, vulnerable youth, individuals with mental health challenges, disabilities and medically fragile children. Additionally, I have worked as a certified nursing assistant in the past where I worked in a nursing home and medical setting. When I am not serving individuals, I like to spend time with my family. We especially love board games and watching movies.
