During the past years, I have provided care for my Dad afflicted with Parkinsons, a friend with breast cancer and a family member diagnosed with brain cancer. I am multi-lingual and volunteer in a local hospital as Patient Advocate and Spiritual Care Representative. I love to help and nurture the needy and comfort the afflicted and have had the opportunity to do so for many years. My passion is to make a difference. I believe in the therapeutic value and importance between animals and people and am involved with PALS ( People and Animal Learning Services ) and volunteer at Wildlife Rehabilitation and Educational Center.
