Summary
I'm a graduate of Eastern Suffolk Boces class 0f 2019, and current student at Suffolk County Community College where I'm finishing up the prerequisite courses for the LPN to RN bridge program. I've spent the last three years dedicated to honing my nursing skills working with the Geriatric population in a long-term care setting. Excellent verbal and non-verbal communication skills, hardworking, reliable, and highly motivated to dedicate my life to helping others. I am eager to adapt my years of customer service experience into the thriving health industry and to go the extra mile to ensure my clients needs and expectations are not only met but exceeded. I want to do my part in helping to combat and contain this pandemic we are facing.
