Summary

I am a well-rounded, passionate healthcare worker with over 10 years of experience in the field. I've studied healthcare since my freshman year of high school. I've been employed with my previous employer for 9 years. During that time I've gotten experience as a CNA, and a Unit Clerk. I was also fortunate enough to has receive a degree from Bryant and Stratton College during that time. I am eager to start a new journey.
