Hello, my name is Janet Notarfrancesco.  I moved to Pittsfield 3 ½ years ago from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to be closer to my son.  After 15 years in the mortgage business, I decided I want to change careers.  I am at BCC for human services and I want to continue my education to get my masters in Social Work.  After I graduate, I want to work in hospice and with our elders. I love to make people smile and improve the quality of their life.  I believe the greatest gift you can give anyone is the gift of your time.  Before moving to Massachusetts, I volunteered at my church to visit our shut-in members.   Recently I have volunteered at the Christian Center making food bags.  Our service-learning program is very important to me because I believe it is important to give back to your community and help those less fortunate.
