Mcdowell High School

Hello, my name is Emily and I am 29 years old. I would describe myself as a very dedicated and hardworking individual. I became interested in caregiving at a young age due to my family's history in the medical field. My mother is a nurse and my father has worked at the hospital for over 30 years. Growing up in this environment helped instill a passion for helping people and thirst for knowledge. The aspects I like most about caregiving are seeing how I can help improve someone's day and meeting new people from all walks of life. I started personal care back in 2016 while working at a local nursing home, but took a break to persue my bachelor's degree in business administration. I have sense decided it is time to return to my true passion which is helping people in any way I can.

I treat my patients as my own family. I have been a CNA for 4 years in LTC I joined the healthcare field because I enjoy helping others. My Personal achievement that I am most proud of is when my residents call me their family.

.

I became a caregiver as a new career path 24 years ago. It has been a very rewarding experience in my life. I like the feeling it gives me knowing i am helping someone. It has also helped me overcome my shyness.When im not working I enjoy spending time with my family.Gardening, camping and playing cards.
