Summary

I am a compassionate, supportive, motivated, and hard-working nursing student whose dream has always been to help people when they are most vulnerable. I started my career in Healthcare in 2016 as a CNA/GNA in a nursing home. I went to Frederick Community College, and completed all my prerequisites; I transferred to UVA. During this time, I continued working as a CNA and babysitter. Recently, I switched gears, and I babysit newborns at night. I have always loved volunteering on the weekends I dedicated my time at my church daycare and at the homeless shelter. My goal is to become a Labour and Delivery Nurse and make an impact in the communities that need help the most to decrease the rate of maternal mortality.
