>> What I love most about my job is that it is personally fulfilling.
I sort of started my career over, after obtaining a bachelor's degree
in business administrations and working the private sector
and just wasn't personally gratified, so I started my career over.
And I went back to school to obtain a masters in public administration, and I was really blessed
and lucking to be able to be in a position now that all of the skills that I possess in terms
of communication and intrapersonal skills and interpersonal skills would be put to use
to improve the quality of life for people that are less fortunate than myself.
And so I love that aspect of my work, is that we're making a meaningful difference.
And, it's an organization we have the data and outcome that prove in many instances
of the strategies that we are employing, are efficient and deserve being considered
for revocability and being scaled up.
Well, some of the bigger challenges are the timing it takes to really make a lasting,
a meaningful impact on the communities that we serve.
You know, when you're talking about improving the quality of life, and health indicators,
and educational indicators, not just for one or two individuals or participants
but for the population as a whole, because our goal is to impact the entire delta.
Well, a lot of this has to deal with the shift in culture, or the shift in mindset.
And so, a lot of the patients, a lot of population that we serve,
there's been this generational cycle of poverty and this generational cycle of a number
of different systems that have been placed around them
and on top of them, that really lend to.
A lot of people in delta being the situation where they are,
where health indicators are poor, educational indicators are poor,
and so in order to make the differences is very, very slow work.
