I have been a caregiver since 2000. I went to school to be a CNA/EMT. I passed both courses (Nicolet Area Technical College, in Rhinelander, WI) and worked as a CNA until 2018. I knew I always wanted to be a caregiver/nurse of some sort when I was in the hospital at age 16 to have my appendix taken out. The care I received was not great, and something I've always remembered. I knew immediately, that was not the type of caregiver I wanted to aspire to be! I love helping and taking care of people! I'd always wanted to further my education, so went back to school (NWTC, Green Bay, WI) and graduated, with honors(Something I'm so proud of!) from the Nursing program with my LPN license 12/2018. I was immediately hired with Prevea Health in Green Bay, Wi as a LPN. I currently work as a LPN in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department. I'm always looking for ways to help others, and make a difference! I am BLS/CPR certified as well.
