Summary
I am an aspiring nursing student at Bergen Community College, with a strong passion for patient care and improving health outcomes. Since August 2024, I have been working as a Patient Care Technician at Chilton Medical Center, where I’ve developed hands-on experience in assisting patients, monitoring vital signs, and providing direct support to medical teams. This role has allowed me to hone my communication skills and ability to provide compassionate, high-quality care in fast-paced environments.
Eager to expand my knowledge and experience in the healthcare field, I am looking to secure a second patient care position that will help me grow and gain further exposure to different aspects of patient care. I am dedicated, empathetic, and committed to making a positive difference in the lives of patients through my work.
