I am a hard working and motivated individual that works well with others as well as independently. I absolutely love people! I have a big heart and I will always go the extra few steps each and every day to make a persons day whether its simply holding the door open or complimenting another. I am starting my Core Nursing classes in September 2025 and I am very excited. I want nothing more then to be a great Nurse someday and be able to leave my shift every day knowing I made a difference in peoples lives and got some to smile each day! That makes my heart happy.
