University of Texas Health Sci ...

I am a very passionate person and I set goals for myself and anyone that I am taking care of. I got into an health care profession when I took care of my late father God bless his soul. I get fulfilled when I am able to give back. My achievement so far is that I put smiles on peoples faces and at the end of my shift my clients appreciate me more.
