Manager,08/2011 - 11/2017Elwyn, El Monte , CA

Starting as an aide, I grew confident in this role that was admittedly intimidating at first. After a few months of assisting individuals with disabilities in their daily living, I was promoted to medical supervisor, where I scheduled, provided transportation to, and attended all medical appointments for eleven clients, including physical therapy appointments, where I first witnessed the effectiveness of PT. I relayed important patient information to fellow staff, including; medications/ changes, information from doctors, and daily range of motion exercises. I then was promoted to manager of a different department. There, I managed scheduling, oversaw staff members, and handled all meetings with patients and their teams, keeping track of various paperwork for patient information. While I felt a sense of pride, being promoted to manager, I missed working more directly with clients, which I didn't get to do as often. Upon returning from maternity leave, I provided four weeks notice, trained my replacement, and stepped down from the management position. I returned to working as an aide in clients' homes, which I loved. My reason for leaving Opportunity Resources was to go to school and obtain a degree, to enhance my education and pursue a career.

In Missoula I enjoyed volunteering at the food bank and the animal shelter. More recently, being quite occupied with raising a toddler, being a full-time student and working part-time, I was happy to volunteer for special olympics, by educating participants and athletes in nutrition and making healthy choices. I loved being part of the special olympics in Missoula, as well, working with the clients in preparing for the event.
