Community Work & Volunteering
Growing up in a small community allowed me to participate and do volunteer work. I was able from a young age learn to communicate and interact with strangers easily. Because of this I am driven by my work with people and customer service has always been my strongest ability. I have also worked with the elderly and disabled. I have experienced compassion, generosity and kindness from many of my interactions and my display of empathy for others has benefited my work as well. I have had some experience with Victim Services as I was assisted by Victim Service Worker and was inspired to consider a career change to assist others.
