About Kenyatta

1. I became a caregiver because after caring for my ill father who had both of his legs amputated, I began to love what I was doing and being able to help him made my day so bright, that I decided after his death I would like to help others. 2. What I like about being a care giver is being able to help someone in need. You never know how you may make a difference in someones life until you help them and be able to see the smile on their face at the end of the day. 3. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is going back to college after 10 years of no school, being a single parent I stayed focused and graduated in 2014 with honors (3.2 GPA) my associates degree in allied health. All while being a single mother. 4. I am a honest, dependable, hard working individual who is looking to advance my care in the medical field. I am a 2014 Allied Health college graduate who studied Medical Assistant. Before going back to school in 2012 I was a CNA, who enjoyed caring and helping other.
