Social Worker – Lynchburg

“At various times during my life, I have been in the healthcare field. When I was looking for work after moving to Virginia, I prayed that God would direct my steps to the job He wanted for me. Then a door opened at Gentle Shepherd and I was hired to join their team!
I first started here as a CNA, and also helped out in marketing and admissions. But when the social work position became available, it was so great because this is what makes my heart beat. I know that God created me to encourage and support people during difficult times in their life and it is wonderful to live this out here.
Since joining the Gentle Shepherd team, I have earned my masters in counseling and continue to enjoy working beside the patients and families that God brings our way. It is truly an honor to be there for people who, while going through incredibly difficult circumstances, are entrusting our team to help them the best way we can.”
