About Kenyatta

My name is Kenyatta Williams I have worked in a nursing home for over 7 years in the Activity Department. I look forward to going into work and building a relationship with my patients. Not only am I an employee but I am a great listener, a companion, a problem solver and a shoulder to cry on. My patients are not just my patients they are family. I have gotten into this field because I love working with and helping people in anyway that I can. I treat everyone I meet especially ones in need as if they were my mother, father, or one of my children. My biggest achievement that I am proud of is going back to school and studying in the medical field. I wouldn't change my work for anything in the world.
