Summary
Growing up I always knew I wanted to be in healthcare but wasn't sure what exactly I wanted to do with it. I started as a Home Health aid to get my foot in the door and ended up really enjoying it. I enjoy listening to stories that the elderly have shared with me about what they have experienced in their life. I enjoyed seeing improvements in the clients who could improve, and this inspired me to get my CNA and further my education in healthcare. I truly love what I do especially being raised by my grandparents to know that I'm providing care to other peoples grandparents that I hope mine will one day get as well.
