"I enjoy helping people to live their best possible life. I currently work with adults with disabilities but would like to focus on helping other people with obtaining services, meeting goals to better themselves, and to live their best life. I am a single parent currently working full time to support my family. Thanks to EMCC, I have one less worry and can concentrate on achieving my goals."
