In the past, I worked part-time for various mental health agencies in Quincy and Brockton, Massachusetts, where I provided Therapeutic Mentoring, advocacy support, and therapeutic coaching to clients. I also helped clients enhance interpersonal communications skills, build relationships, practice safety, and develop a coping plan while facilitating groups and helping them obtain community resources. My accomplishment at each agency has been receiving positive feedback and I am applying it to be a better servant.

My professional role model is Dr. Ulric Johnson, a very dynamic licensed mental health clinician, youth/family advocate, and community organizer who inspired me to pursue a career in the behavioral health field with a concentration in multi-ethnic sensitivity in communities of color.

If I could invite one person (alive or dead) to dinner with my family, it would be Denzel Washington. When I am not in the office; I can be found at home enjoying my wife, son, and daughter, hosting community events, and poetry/ creative art workshop.
