I became a caregiver because my grandma was living on her own for a while in 2012. So I noticed she needed help with a lot of things from ADLs to cooking so I was always there to help her. So I thought to myself there are more people like her who probably need help, so from that day on I new I wanted to be a caregiver. I like being able to interact with the patient and learning new things from a day to day basis. I'm currently a student at Coppin State University and I been on the deans list for the past 2 years straight and I will be graduating May 2016. Once I graduate my goal is to attend Occupational Therapy School to become an Occupational therapist. I'm a very nice person and people love personality everywhere I go and I am very easy to get along with and very empathetic.
