About Christina

Good afternoon, I currently have worked in the healthcare/ human services field for 14 years. I am a kind, empathetic, compassionate, hard working, outgoing women. I feel as though my purpose in life is to provide care giving for persons with disabilities or who are Ill or at their final stages of life in hospice. I strive to give them the best quality of care and life they deserve . At 18 I started as a residential habilitator in an all male group home specializing in traumatic brain injuries and was promoted to supervisor at 19 years of age. I completed tasks such as ADL'S, medication management, meal prep, teaching residents who are able how to fill their medi set for each week and teaching them all goals listed in goal plan. Safety was a number one priority and giving my clients the quality of life they deserve. I also worked for the female group home with a wide range of disabilities also including hoyer lifts, 24 hour oversight, cooking, all chores, bathing, transferring, all personal hygiene including toileting, dental care, PT exercises, TED stockings, diaper changes, laundry, fire drill training , ordering and maintaining prescriptions from physicians and pharmacy, teaching budgeting skills, grocery shopping, community integration, appointment setting, advocating and providing transportation to physician appointments, and all other duties assigned and needed. I also worked at the hospital as a patient care technician on the orthopedic unit specializing in transfers, wound care, PT exercises, completing vitals, oxygen, phlebotomy , and bed baths with all personal hygiene included. I attended college at Bryant&Stratton achieving my Associates degree in Medical Assisting and am one semester away from graduating with my Bachelors degree in Human services. The 10 years I worked at PRALID Epilepsy Inc. after working as group home IRA supervisor, I was promoted several more times to Day Program manager, Independent Living Skills Trainer, and Service Coordination.
