Hi Chasity,

I'm Serena Cucco and I just finished grad school with my MSW.  I'll be
graduating in May.  I'm beginning my job search and would like to
wor,k in gerontology, as well.  Although I know quite a bit about
hospis care from my coursework and experience with elderly relatives,
I don't have any professional experience.
