Crystal Schwartz, Health Educator/Counselor
By DeafHHCareer | July 6, 2008
Crystal Schwartz is an independent contractor with an interesting job. She is a Health Educator and Counselor to clients with HIV or at-risk. Crystal works with different hospitals and counsels deaf and hard of hearing patients about healthy living and sex education with HIV. She hosts workshops on topics related to HIV and healthy living.
Crystal didn’t intend to get into counseling at first. She attended Gallaudet University for three years and while in Chicago on an internship, she finished up her degree in Business Administratation at the Robert Morris College.
“I first became involved as an educator/counselor by volunteering a lot with the HIV program and through networking,” said Crystal.
Crystal left full-time work and switched to the part-time counseling job to allow more flexibility and time with her children. Crystal is a mom to three deaf children. She has been a Health Educator and Counselor for seven years.
“I’m blessed to be able to help so many people,” she said.
Today, Crystal is back in school, aiming for her graduate degree in Management. She’s also hard at work, writing her first book.
