About Katherine

I am currently a fourth year at UC Davis. A little bit about me is that I love caring for others and I think compassion is one of my greatest strengths. I was most attracted to being a caregiver because a lot of my older family members are getting to the age where they need caregivers. Because they are in Taiwan, I am not able to care for them and meet their needs. I understand how hard it is being a caregiver, and would therefore like to relieve caregivers from some of their stress. I know that a lot of the times, older patients are in need of companionship and just someone to talk to or listen to them. I think being a caregiver is such a humbling experience and those we care for have so much wisdom and life experience to impart.

As a medical assistant at Bayanihan Clinic, I take patient vitals and their chief complaints to see how our clinic can best fit their needs. In addition, I spend time with some of our older patients who live in care homes located in Sacramento.

To be a caregiver is all I've ever wanted to do, I feel like I was born to be a caregiver. And I really love to communicate with elders. I can learn more life experience from them. Also I will be happy when I have the ability to bring some comfort to the elderly, that's so wonderful to see the smile on their face.

I am a joyful optimist. I am attentive, trustworthy and dependable. I appreciate the opportunity to provide patient, tender hearted care to vulnerable aging people. I have chosen to become a caregiver because I desire meaningful employment. I enjoy being a strong source of support and encouragement to individuals and families in need. Perhaps my most gratifying acheivements as a caregiver have been the ability to provide exceptional palliative care to elderly patients and emotional support to their loved ones.
