I am an energetic, goal-driven, caring person who is interested in using my medical experience for someone in need of care. While I was in high school, I was a caregiver for an elderly man with Alzheimer's and terminal cancer. I greatly valued my time spent with him and was thankful that we could help each other out; I was able to help him do day-to-day activities as his caregiver and he gave was prompt to give me life advice anytime he saw fit. Shortly after he passed away, I graduated high school and joined the Army National Guard as a combat medic. One of the biggest reasons for my enlistment was to get my foot in the door with the medical field and to better the quality of our troop's lives. Being a medic means I get to see people on their worst days and, though that might be a less than glorious job to some, I find purpose in the fact that any intervention I administer helps better that person's quality of life. I intend on furthering my career in the medical field as a paramedic and will be attending school for my associates in paramedic medicine- ultimately leading to a career as a flight medic.
