Summary
A polymath capable individual seeking positions that may require a wide range
of capacities that demand 'out of the box' solutions. Position needs to
be a low stress environment with an organization that understands my limitations. I
am also passionate about working with other folks recovering from severe
mental illness, and/or seeking volunteer positions with organizations
such as Thresholds, C4 and/or NAMI Chicago. My neuropsych results report
deficits in executive function and working memory.
