I have strong work ethics and want people I interact with to know they can depend on me to do my best and know that if I don’t have the answer I will do all that I can to find it.

I want to tell you about myself, but before I do I want you to understand there are many people behind me that helped me develop into the person I have become and am continuing to develop into. I married into the Morrissey family 24 yrs. ago. I love the ethics, morals and belief system of this family. I have a grown son whom is married with 3 children. He was the kid in school that stuck up for the bullied kids and made sure everyone had someone to sit with or play with at recess. He has grown into a very involved and loving father and husband of whom I am very proud.  I also have a beautiful and caring teenage daughter. She is differently-abled, and I find her to be one of the most heartfelt people I have ever met. She has the courage to fight battles many of us will never experience due to her disabilities, she is loving and tender with a great sense of humor. My children have created in me a patient, focused, accepting, compassionate and well-balanced person.  My dad and 3 of my brothers served in the military. Dad was a Navy man, 2 of my brothers were Army and 1 brother was a Marine. I am so proud of the dedication and loyalty they have to our family and our country. They taught me there is more out there then what I see or experience. I didn’t go into their field, but I did have the honor and pleasure of being a foster mom. I loved the families I got to work with, that they were able to get some time to get the support they needed to be the best they could be. I learned that there are many ways to do something and still get the results you’re looking for. There is no such thing as a perfect parent, a perfect marriage or a perfect person, people are not made from cookie cutters we all develop from our own life experiences both the good and the difficult. The good can and usually do make me happy but I also find great satisfaction and appreciation for others in the challenges I meet and overcome. I have learned to respect others and where they are on their path. I’m the person that looks for the good in everyone, believes that all men and women are indeed created equal. I don’t believe status gives an individual or family more value then another.

I enjoy many things in my free time, reading, drawing and coloring, games, movies, and traveling, there is one hobby that gets most of my attention these days, Loom knitting. This hobby has proven very handy in this state as knitting and the cold have a cohesive relationship. One feeds the other. I enjoy time with my family, cooking for them and supporting them in any way that I can.

On the practical side of things, I have had a few different jobs over my lifetime, both blue and white collar, all of them created the working side of me. I have strong work ethics and want people I interact with to know they can depend on me to do my best and know that if I don’t have the answer I will do all that I can to find it. If is not mine to find, then I will find out who has the answer. I am not afraid of being wrong or admitting it. In all the jobs I have had the things they had in common, that I enjoyed, are the people, the numbers and the organizational aspects. I guess this is where working at The Morrissey Institute comes into play. I believe in what Dr. Morrissey does and her passion for therapy and treatment whether it is helping individuals and families or teaching other therapists how to assist their clients by increasing their tools and confidence. I have never known or met a person more dedicated or devoted to her clients and therapists then Michelle Morrissey. There is no job out there that could pull me away from assisting her in her goal to reach and help as many people as she can. I look forward to meeting all the people that walk through our doors knowing that we can help them find what they need or are looking for. I look forward to meeting you.
