Gloria is committed to equipping, encouraging, and educating groups and individuals in reaching their full potential. Her experiences and skills have prepared her to coach and mentor in the church, healthcare setting, and community. She enjoys leading seminars and workshops on a variety of topics that include Christian issues, health care issues, team development, family life and other related topics. As a mental health professional, she focuses on wholistic care - mind, body, and spirit. Her passion for helping others is why she chose nursing as a profession. Her concern for the unsheltered can be traced back to her days as Assistant Chief of the Domiciliary for homeless veterans in the Cleveland, OH VA Health Care System and her work in the local church.
