Maria A Trujillo Martinez
Tampa,FL
Summary
I worked as a nurse for several years, providing direct patient care and conducting home follow-ups after hospital discharge, including assisting with prescriptions and supporting elderly patients and individuals with serious illnesses such as cancer. In 2013, I moved to the United States from Cuba and initially worked in a beef processing plant while validating my education and adapting to a new language and environment. Over time, you earned your CNA certification, HIPAA certification, and other required credentials. During this period, I also provided private, in-home care for elderly patients, continuing my commitment to compassionate healthcare and patient support.
