Summary

In Massachusetts, I began my medical profession as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I gained extensive hands-on experience first at Sacred Heart Skilled Care Nursing Home throughout 2023 and later at Sarah Brayton Nursing Home in New Bedford in 2024. At Bristol Community College, I studied General Biology, Composition, Psychology, and Anatomy & Physiology, building a strong academic foundation in the sciences. In 2025 I relocated to New York and transferred my CNA license to continue advancing my career and pursue greater nursing opportunities. My long-term goals include becoming a Registered Nurse and earning a Master of Science in Nursing with a Pediatric focus. I am committed to lifelong learning and to providing compassionate, patient-centered care.
