Dynamic and compassionate healthcare professional with extensive experience in senior care, notably at Atria Senior Living. Excelled in Alzheimer's care and emergency response, demonstrating critical thinking and a positive attitude. Proven multitasker, adept at lifting up to 200 lbs, ensuring safety and enhancing resident independence. My number one priority is my patient and their safety.
