About Angie

I obtained my nursing aide certification through a special job caring for children who were on life support systems, with severe limitations, and short life expectancy. One of my first encounters during the interview process was with a young girl with fetal alcohol poisoning, which left her without pupils and undeveloped vocals. I was allowed to hold her and when she wrapped her arms around my neck and let out this infectious giggle. I knew I wanted to work there. I also worked as a nanny, hospice caretaker, a Doula, and paraplegic caretaker. My certifications include: Nursing Assistant(5yrs), Personal Assistant, Monitoring Tech., EKG Tech., Phlebotomy(1 yr), Dialysis Tech(12 yrs),EMT(Ambulance)(8yrs). I'm now a full time Graphic Arts student, fulfilling a lifelong dream of having a degree. My hobbies include writing, drawing, designing, sculpting, landscaping, and interior design. I currently drive a medical equipped van to transport people with limited mobility. In 2009 my own son was on life support and is living on his own, as of 9/15/2014. He and his brother make me very proud. I am a true believer in treating people the way I want to be treated. Not proud of having so many jobs, I will explain.
