This year, I will be graduating from the University at Buffalo in WNY and I am planning on moving to the Washington, DC area after graduation in May. For the past two years, I have been a home care aide to a wheelchair-bound patient with cerebral palsy. I also have experience caring for my elderly grandmother who suffered from Stage 4 acute myeloid leukemia in 2016. I have also studied exercise science and biology for the past four years, giving me great knowledge of human mobility, anatomy, physiology, and nutrition. As of now, I am working as a student intern at New York Presbyterian Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation Clinic helping patients who endured a cardiac event or have heart disease to adopt a healthy lifestyle and implement exercise and nutrition regimens into their daily life. I plan on going into medicine in the future, but for right now I want to pursue my passion of helping people through a job as a caregiver. I care for any person as if they are my own family, whether it be in the rehab clinic, as an aide, or anybody who needs my help and companionship. Creating a positive living environment is something very important to me and I would love to do so for you or your loved one.
