Summary

I am currently a Massage Therapist wanting to expand an education in healthcare and obtain a nursing license. I am compassionate and understanding of people's pain, trauma and desire for health and comfort. I enjoy meaningful work where I am able to help others. I have a history of nursing care in Veterinary medicine and know that I enjoy taking care of all creatures in need, although my focus at this time is geared towards people. I enjoy working in a team of people who want to improve the greater good of their company or field. I look forward to using my skills from previous careers to help me succeed as a nurse, while also obtaining a new skill set and learning so much more about healthcare.
