Summary

I am a nursing graduate from the Philippines with diverse professional experience. Early in my career, I worked as a bank teller and flight attendant, pursuing these opportunities due to the low nursing salaries in my home country while living independently. When I moved to the U.S., I was able to return to my true passion—healthcare. I first gained hands-on experience caring for bedridden patients in a care home, then transitioned to my first hospital role as an Operating Room Assistant at Stanford. After passing the U.S. Nursing Board Exam in 2025, I was hired as a Registered Nurse at Kindred Hospital, where I currently work in the Med-Surg unit.
