What do you like most about the industry? I like the healthcare industry because it gives me a chance to give back to people that really needs help, although I may not be involved directly with our clients, I think my work behind the scenes does have an impact on the day to day operations of the organization.
What do you like most about HELP/PSI? What I like most about HELP/PSI is the family oriented environment. Everyone is friendly and easy to get along with. It also gave an opportunity to educate myself about the population we are trying to help, because working at HELP/PSI I have seen clients become peer volunteers and eventually staff, it was great seeing someone that started with nothing and ended with great accomplishments.

Extra Tidbits: I don’t have any shoes or handbag fetishes I just like beautiful things. The advice I give sometimes are not taken so I only give to people I think are to going to listen and appreciate of what I have to say, I think I am a very good judge of character. I got into accounting because I love numbers, accounting is also challenging to one’s mind and I think I just disliked reading,, so boring to me, I prefer to watch the movie than read the book.
