I have familiarity with assisting elderly. I traveled for two weeks to Vietnam with my grandmother (65 years old) and grandfather (77 years old). I enjoy listening to others and from a young age could often been seen listening or asking my grandparents questions about their childhood during family gatherings. I used to play piano for a nursing home once a month for an hour and would socialize with individuals before and after performances. This past spring I also spent 20 hours shadowing a geriatric doctor. As an aspiring Physician Assistant, I am excited to use my care giving experience to help me understand my patients in the future. I plan on acquiring my CNA license in August.
