Tierney McCollum
Summary
I have always had a propensity to show empathy towards the well being of others. During my college years I decided to become a nursing assistant to better use this gift to show compassion to those who needed it most. During my years as a CNA I have had the pleasure to learn from the people I work with and experience an internal growth. As of now, I continue to find new challenges to become of better service in the medical world.
