Summary
Dedicated Caregiver
I worked for Adena for most of my adult life and truly loved it. I took a small break from Adena due to the fact that my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. At that time, I worked both Adena and Ross Pike ESC preschool. I went down to one job to have more time to help with her.
My heart is with health care, and I am more than ready to come back to it. I am in the process of going to school for my MA but I do not plan on stopping there. My goal is to someday become a Nurse Practitioner.
