I worked for years in a nursing care facility, from the age of 18 up until about the age of 30. I love working with people, caring for them, helping them. I only stopped because of the hours and I had young children at the time. I worked on the floor as a medication technician and a certified nursing assistant. I enjoy brightening a person's day, making a difference, hopefully making someone smile. I am most proud of the education I have been working on getting online at University of Maine. I loved the work I had done that lead to this education, teaching health, healthy eating, meal preparation, exercise and moving your body.
