I became a CNA because I fell in love with the elderly.I started work with alzhiemers/dementia patients and knew this is what I wanted to do the rest of my life. I am currently going to school to pursue my nursing degree. I am very passionate in the work I provide and it makes me feel good to go home and know Ive helped another person that wether it be physically,mentally or socially! I am a very fun loving down to earth kind of person you will almost always see me smiling. I will treat your loved one as if they are my loved one!
