I recently graduated from UC San Diego with a degree in Microbiology. I became a caregiver as a learning opportunity to interact with an older population of patients and I fell in love with geriatrics. In my experience as a caregiver I have gained so much patience and compassion for the people I have worked with. I enjoy listening to the incredible stories that each individual patient has to offer. I have a strong understanding of what each patient needs and I appreciate the chance to assist each patient live their daily lives in comfort. The last thing these patients want is to lose their independence and my goal is to enhance their life so they can continue living a fulfilling life. My eventual goal is to become a physician's assistant and I am interested in fulfilling a certain amount of patient care hours that is required for applying to P.A. school.
