Work HistoryI have over fourteen years experience working in community-based organizations serving children, adolescents, and adults and managing staff and programs to serve the community. I have provided services in English and Spanish to individuals, families, and groups in South Florida. I have worked to assist people that present with behavioral and emotional problems.
