Summary
Aspiring ER Nurse with a clear vision for the future and a passion for healthcare. My journey began immediately after high school, when I committed to a nursing career. Starting as a Medical Assistant, I diligently advanced through roles such as Patient Care Technician, Certified Nurse Assistant, Direct Support Professional, Certified Phlebotomist, Registered Behavioral Technician, and Licensed Practical Nurse. My diverse experiences have equipped me with a broad skill set and an eagerness to enhance my expertise further. In my downtime, I enjoy traveling, music, and TV shows, and have a deep affection for my chihuahua. I am excited about the opportunity to leverage my knowledge and experience to excel in nursing and look forward to discussing how I can contribute to your team.
