About Kristen

I became a caregiver because my family is in the health care industry, so I grew up around learning how to care for people. I love helping/caring for people because I like knowing I helped make someone have a better day, or just seeing the smile on there face because they have someone that cares about them. A personal achievement I am proud of is that I graduated from nursing and I'm currently studying to take my nursing boards. Again growing up in health care I have always wanted to work in the health care industry to help people, that has always been my passion in life and will continue to be.
