About Lashawn

I became a caregiver at the age of 17 while I was still in High School, I became a STNA where I worked in a nursing home and also went on to provide care for MRDD individuals living in a residential setting. I have always had a passion for helping those in need and it is one of my long term goals to do in the future as I would like to someday establish my own centers in assisting those that need help.
