About Viviana

I recently graduated with a degree in Exercise Science, Pre-Occupational Therapy. As someone who is naturally compassionate and empathetic, I aspire to make a difference in the lives of those who are struggling - which is precisely why I am pursuing a profession in Occupational Therapy. I moved to Fort Collins a few months ago with the intention of gaining residency in the next year so I am able to quality for in-state tuition prior to attending Colorado State's OT program. In the mean time, I am hoping to work as a caregiver in order to gain further experience in geriatric care. Prior to moving out west, I worked as a caregiver in a home for Alzheimer/Dementia patients only. I loved interacting with my residents and learned quite a bit about Alzheimer/Dementia specific care there. Additionally, for the last three months, I worked as a private-in home caregiver for a woman with mild dementia and Parkinson's. Through that experience I learned that I prefer to work in a one-on-one environment, as I am able to focus on one individuals needs and establish a closer, more personal relationship with my patient. Between my own personality traits, prior work experience, and education, I feel confident in my ability to provide exceptional care. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

I have over 5 years caregiver experience. I love helping others who are unable to do thing's on their own. I continued to do caregiving because of my grandfather o took care of for 3 year's back in 2010. Once he passed away i just felt i could do more by helping others that need help or just need someone to talk to. I am proud that i have made a difference in other people's lives.
