Summary
With over five years of dedicated service as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), beginning at age 16, I've cultivated a strong foundation in compassionate patient care while pursuing my high school and college education.
Transitioning into a dynamic role at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution for four years, I progressed from Corporal to Unit Case Manager, demonstrating adeptness in leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. Now, driven by a passion for growth and seeking to align with my professional aspirations, I am eager to embark on new career opportunities where I can leverage my diverse background and hands-on experience.
