Work History

Attendant

Anthem Health
01.2022 - 12.2024
  • As an Attendant at Anthem Health from 2022 to 2024, I provided dedicated, one-on-one care to a special needs child, supporting their daily routines, therapy, and overall well-being. My role required consistent patience, adaptability, and emotional intelligence—skills I honed through complex caregiving tasks and constant collaboration with medical, educational, and therapy professionals.
  • I played an active role in facilitating therapeutic exercises, managing transportation to appointments, and advocating for the child’s needs within a multidisciplinary care team. To promote stability and growth, I developed structured routines tailored to the child’s unique needs and kept detailed documentation of their behavior and progress.
  • Through this experience, I built strong, trusting relationships with the family and care team, learning how to navigate high-responsibility environments with empathy, organization, and clarity. This hands-on work deepened my commitment to meaningful, impact-driven roles and shaped my ability to remain calm, communicative, and solutions-focused in challenging situations.

Interests

I'm a passionate and published photographer with a sharp creative eye and a unique perspective that helps me find innovative solutions to ongoing challenges My love for photography goes beyond the lens—I’m equally passionate about editing, storytelling, and capturing moments that speak louder than words

Creativity flows through everything I do, from food photography, drawing, painting, and experimenting in the kitchen Whether I’m styling a dish, perfecting a pastry, or capturing the spirit of a new destination, I bring a thoughtful and artistic touch to every project

I also enjoy sharing my travel adventures, tips, and insights with others, hoping to inspire fellow explorers Volunteering in community kitchens and food-related charities like the Knights of Columbus keeps me grounded and connected to what matters

Driven by curiosity and fueled by creativity, I’m always seeking new ways to blend art, food, and storytelling to make an impact
