I set out years ago to become a business professional, but along the way, I found my true calling in healthcare. What I do is not just a job to me--it is a passion rooted in caring for others. My journey began at the age of 12, when I helped care for my grandmother after she broke both of her legs. From that moment on, I discovered a deep love for helping others, especially the elderly. I have always had a special place in my heart for older generations, and being able to care for them as a career is truly a blessing. I cherish the stories they share and the opportunity to learn who they are as individuals. To me, caregiving feels like being gifted with many extended families--and that is something I will never take for granted.
