My experience is vast and more easily shared in person, only the basics listed below which do not do justice to my strengths, and successes. With my enthusiasm in establishing well being within my clientele I have worked in both fixed and mobile sites, and quickly develop good relationships that lead to repeat custom. I am versatile, compassionate and have excellent interpersonal skills.
