Work History
Certified Nursing Assistant: Intensive Care Unit
Providence St. Patrick Hospital
08.2024 - Current
- In August of 2024 I was fortunate enough to accepted onto the Intensive Care Unit team for 0.3 bid
- After acceptance I was entrusted with many secretarial duties that included creating and distributing census reports as well as entering all nurses and health care associates into the Responder system to ensure patients' call lights would notify the proper healthcare professionals in a timely manner
- Additionally, I was responsible for creating patient charts prior to arrival, assisting in the admittance and discharge of patients, and conducting safety checks to ensure emergency equipment was present during emergent situations
- Further, I was responsible for responding to patient call lights and utilizing critical thinking skills to determine if I could safely assist the patient in their needs or should instead interrupt the assigned nurses activities to inform her that the patient needed specialized assistance
- As a member of the ICU team I had the unique opportunity to learn from critical care nurses who had devoted many years of their lives to assisting critically ill patients and utilize this time to discover what skills and knowledge I would need to obtain in order to be successful as a critical care nurse after graduation.
Certified Nursing Assistant: Floor 5 South
Providence St. Patrick Hospital
09.2023 - Current
- I started as a CNA on 5 south at the beginning of September
- My duties have included taking vital signs, monitoring patients for condition changes, bathing patients, changing linens, emptying and measuring input and output from various types of drains, and any other tasks that I am asked to do or feel might make life easier for the assigned nurse
- While this is my first time in the healthcare setting I have found that I greatly enjoy the challenge of managing time effectively as well as monitoring for changes in a patients' condition that potentially indicate an issue and promptly reporting such changes to the nurse
- This experience has made me much more effective at time management and recognizing what subjective and objective patient information does or does not need to be reported to the nurse
- It has been an incredible learning opportunity and a great stepping stone to my goal as a nurse in the Intensive Care Unit at St
- Patrick Hospital.
Carpenter/ Concrete technician/ Peri Form Climber
Jackson Contractor Group
10.2017
- I spent 5 winters employed with Jackson Contractor Group primarily assigned to the concrete division in Big Sky and Bozeman
- My primary role on the crew was that of a PERI wall climber
- After constructing forty to sixty foot tall metal walls on the ground, they were attached to a tower crane and flown over the job site and to me so I could secure it in place
- As the wall was flown into place by the crane, I would either receive the wall while attached to the top of the form immediately adjacent to it or quickly climb to the top of the newly placed wall using pelican hooks attached to a climbing harness and use large metal ties to secure the wall to adjacent PERI walls
- This job required a great deal of situational awareness and split-second, high-consequence-critical thinking skills to prevent serious injury or death to myself or coworkers as the 10,000 pound panels were flown to me and were often caught by the wind causing them to spin at a high rate of speed
- Additionally, I had the responsibility of climbing on the panels as concrete wall pours were carried out, moving and attaching the 60lb external wall vibrator to different parts of the wall as the pour progressed to facilitate optimal structural integrity of the material through proper vibration placement
- While on the crew, I take pride in being the individual that strives to lift the morale of the crew and promote a positive outlook while setting an example through my work ethic.

- While employed as a guide with the Resort at Paws Up I have encountered and reacted to a variety of unexpected situations in a variety of ways
- These include applying tourniquets to guests, directing in life flights in the backcountry, safely removing guests from rolled vehicles and installing and enacting creative mid rappel rescues for guests who have jammed their ATC or become stuck upside down
- I have also taken the time to study up on native and non-native plants in Montana including edible and medicinal uses of these plants and trees so as to be more informative to my guests while out on guided hikes
- My most recent season was spent as the supervisor of the resort's rappelling department and high ropes course
