Summary
I have been working in nursing homes/in home healthcare for five years now. I found my passion for caring for those who need it most. I earned my Home health Aide license in November of 2022. In November of 2024 I began working as a Lead Teacher at Girls Inc. of Wayne County where I have helped plan lessons and activities for over 40 girls that’s in my class, we teach curriculum based programs such as Financial Literacy, Healthy Nutrition Diets, Mind+Body Autonomy/Physiology and much more. I really enjoy working with children/elderly, just being able to help others who need it or who can’t help themselves brings me joy!
