I have great compassion and empathy, as well as a special bond, with animals, the sick, elderly, and disabled. I have worked with many seniors, as well as the disabled, for over 20 years. I work in a group home for the disabled here in NC (& previously in CT), helping them to live as independently as possible. I was also a veterinary technician for over 10 years. I have always worked in support roles, & love to help & be an advocate for those who may not have a voice to do so.
