Summary
I have been in healthcare type work since I was eighteen years old. I started out in respite care, then moved to memory care, hospice and adult foster care homes. Most recently, I was employed at a family doctor's office working as a medical assistant for two years. Caring for others while helping them maintain dignity and showing them respect is what I love to do. I am a fast learner and have a wide variety of skills. I am easy to get along with and enjoy fast-paced work environments.
