Health Care Professional
Philadelphia,PA

Summary

I am currently a senior nursing student, partaking in the licensure of Practical Nursing. My first job, at age 17, was a Summer Camp Counselor. since then, I've molded my career around the care of others. Working as a healthcare professional has taught me the importance of adequate and efficient care. I am very adaptable to my environment being as though I am a "quick learner" both visually and hands-on. I hope to further my career as a mental health technician in order to ensure the proper treatment of people's loved ones who may suffer from impaired mental status.
