Additional Information
Following the closure of my previous department in December 2020, I dedicated my time caring for family, my elderly mother with Dementia. My personal experience of caring for my mother has greatly increased my sensitivity, compassion, and respect for the elderly. I am now eager to bring my skills and compassion back into the professional setting and am excited about the opportunities ahead. Previous experience working as an RN with Vitas Hospice of South Florida (2004-2006).
