My responsibilities include but not limited to counseling, direct care work, dispensing medication, training and providing rehabilitative support services for assigned clients. As a case manager I helped consumers with intakes processes including comprehensive benefit assessment as well as weekly and long-term care plan development.

I sought involvement in the urban service track, because of my excellent morals and rich values for human dignity, respect and proper care for people of all diverse backgrounds with better skill and with relevant urban, rural setting experience which will add a great value as well as my unique perspective solving challenges facing the urban and rural sector. This will help make a difference in my field and healthcare.
