Summary
I am an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. Detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy. I am currently a student at Ventura College and I am currently completing my pre-requisites to apply to a nursing program in a couple of years. I would really like to work as a CNA in a hospital environment to become more familiar with the type of career that I am pursuing. I have also cared for many patients as a Rehab Aide by assisting to clean up the patient and also provide for the patients necessities while also giving them emotional support and encouragement to be able to ambulate. I am fluent in both English and in Spanish and feel like this would be an asset for the job that I am pursing. I have also had experience with schooling at PMCI located in Westlake Village they are where I got certified through and I also did my clinical hours at Oak View Health Center.
