ADELL M DOLBAN

After three decades of a career that allowed me the opportunity to work in the mental health field directly with individuals and their families, the pandemic and life changes have brought me a renewed set of circumstances to vary my career path. At this stage in my life I have had to learn to be adaptable, diligent and self-directed while assisting my past clients and customers. With strong administrative and communication skills I am confident that I am the newest member of your team that you seek.
