I got into the Healthcare field at 19 years old. I immediately found my passion. I always had the desire to help people. I've worked in skilled and independent living facilities. I've worked with mental health patients as well as physically disabled patients. I care deeply about my patients and treat them as if they were my family. I know all HIPAA laws, and have a current PCA certification.
