Summary
Most of my professional history is in public health. I served in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, offering services to low-income families and managing small to medium projects. Currently, I juggle between being a caretaker and providing light accounting services to a woman owned business. I am passionate about helping individuals and the communities that they reside in. At this moment I am searching for a role where I can further expand my skills and offer support to families and communities.
