Summary
I began working as a private care aide when I was 15 years old. Since then I have developed a deep love for patient care, medicine, and teamwork. I pursued education towards receiving my CNA. During my time as a CNA, I began working closely with nurses at a hospital. They inspired me to continue my education. I became a mother for the second time shortly after ADN graduation in 2019. In 2023 I received my nursing license. This year I completed my BSN. I'm looking forward to reentering patient care in the role of a Registered Nurse. I'm excited to be an active participant to the healthcare team.
