Hello, I am a College Student, and my major is in Biology/Nursing. I always had the passion to help others and volunteered a lot growing up in the medical field. My Mom is a Cardiologist at Ben Taub Hospital. My passion is to help others of a sense of personal understanding and connection is vital. I understand elders that may feel vulnerable, scared, confused and uncomfortable, and being able to identify and allay these fears can create a sense of calm and trust for those being cared for. I have the patience and can provide high-quality care services. I am always on time and very dependable, and always have a personal attachment when caregiving. I have experience in administering medicine, and all medical equipment. My work experience came from Ben Taub Hospital, which is the best teaching hospital in Houston! I am very trustworthy and a happy person. My future goal is to become a great nurse and help change lives.
