Summary
I have passion to work with geriatric population, so I started working in the SNF as a CNA, then I became a Restorative Nurse Aide to help patients with exercises. I also have experience working as a PT aide in an outpatient clinic, and I realized that physical therapy is what I really love to do. Therefore, now as a Licensed PTA I would love to have contribution to improve the quality of life of geriatric population. I consider myself as a highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong worth ethic, adaptability and exceptional interpersonal skills.
