My grandmother was on hospice when I was a young girl. I saw how grateful my grandmother was and how much her caregiver touched my Grandmother's life. Ever since I wanted to make a difference and touch the lives of others. I have been a CNA for three years now, and I take pride in taking care of others. I want to make a difference in the life of every patient that I see . I not only want to be there for the patient but for their family too.

I am native to the Willamette valley and have spent the last 7 years practicing in the wellness field. I have worked in a variety of care giving positions and have been drawn to working with seniors at various times. I appreciate being helpful to elders and assisting them with activities of daily living in a productive and charismatic way. I spent a great deal of my childhood cleaning and working within all types of offices which has given me tons of mobility and familiarity- especially throughout Benton County. I am someone who is passionate about keeping our seniors out and about! Specific Achievements and References can be found on my formal resume --

Been a caregiver for 8 years now, so I can be kind of pushy when it is necessary for motivation, but i also know when being pushy is to much for others. I enjoy helping others achieve goals and feel good about them selves, and give 100% at any occupation, and try to learn new from my clients as well. Having alot of sickness in my personal family life is what inspired me to become a care giver. Helping people in need has always been my calling, have always had a deep instinct of others well being. I attended 8 months of a 15 month medical assistance school in 2015. Would have gladly finished but the school shut down in town. Im proud of the achievement of having this career for so long, to get to know it so well, with more to come. Just growing and learning everyday is a great achievment.
