About Kelly

I have always been a caring and compassionate person. I started my medical career as an army medic. I then became a paramedic and have continued to help people of all ages and medical conditions in many different settings. As a registered nurse I have been able to continue to provide care in the emergency room, long term care facility and urgent care. I love to meet new people. I find that most people can find something in common to talk about. I am very proud of my son, and enjoy living close to family.

I have always loved helping people especially those who cannot always help themselves. I am very out going and at my current job love to get them out and about in the community such as going for walks and the free concerts that r offered in our area thru the summer. My residents also love to go to the movies. One of my personal achievements that i am most proud of is with the help of my husband building a garden box got my residents out and growing their own vegetables which in turn made them want to eat the healthy food. I find happiness in the work i do i wish i had got into this field of work years ago and would like to continue doing what i do for anyone that needs the assistance.
