Im a people person and love getting to know my patients/ residents their routines and what they need from me not only care wise but emotional support wise as well . Though I feel like I have been doing this for quite some time ..I do love to learn and get out of my comfort zone. I work well / tend to enjoy fast paced work . I love what I do overall and want continue to stay/ pursue healthcare .
