I started my healthcare career when I was 15 years old. I got my CNA certificate at 15. I got my CMA certificate when I was 16 years old. I worked in a nursing home throughout high school & for about 7 years after. Then I started working as a phlebotomist and continued that for 6 years. Then I moved to Cozad & applied for a job at Lexington Regional Health Center where I began my career as a surgical tech and moved forward to becoming certified.
