I have a deep understanding of comprehensive patient care and therapeutic rapport, and I am a compassionate patient advocate focused on providing high-quality care, specializing in therapeutic group facilitation interpersonal communication, de-escalation and patient education. Since joining WCSU I have taken on the role of applying for grants that can benefit the institution and the region and I look forward to working closely with Nuvance Health and our other partner applicants.<\/p>\n
