Although I have always had a natural ability to help others, I became interested in caregiving and the healthcare field after taking care of my uncle who had cancer. I understood the importance in providing quality care for those in need. As a certified CNA, being passionate in what I do, responsible, empathetic, and self-less are the qualities I am proud to carry. An accomplishment I am proud of is going back to school to pursue nursing and maintaining a high GPA.

I enjoy helping people and once my grandmother and parents needed assistance with aging my career shifted from teaching to caregiving. I enjoy getting to know people and learning about them, while caring for them. I am proud of raising my family and completing school. I have traveled all over the United States and the world, and I enjoy reading.
