I haven't always known what I want to do with my life. I started my professional career working for the IRS after getting my degree in accounting and then went on to work as a logistics manager in the corporate business world. It wasn't until my great-grandmother required long term elder care that I realized my passion for helping others. After giving notice at my job, I decided to pursue a degree in nursing, knowing that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I finished my pre-requisites in the Summer of 2016 with a 4.0 grade point average. Since my career change, I have spent my time working as a CNA in two long term care facilities- Willamette View and Friendsview - to gain as much knowledge and skill as possible while pursing my degree. Currently, I work at Friendsview as a CNA in the health center. I have had the opportunity to serve on the Falls Committee, go to LiveWell training and learn how to dispense medication. I also enjoy being the lead trainer in our onboarding department, educating new caregivers on how to succeed in the job. I started my first term at Clackamas Community College in September of 2017, which happened to coincide with the birth of my son Miles who was born on September 27th! This is our first child and has been a huge life change - but a welcome life change. Right now, with work, school and life - I have the opportunity to discover where my strengths lie. The multi-tasking of these three areas has been difficult but I've learned how to stay organized and prioritize effectively.
