I started working with special needs populations in school through volunteer work. I then underwent clinical training and certification as a nursing assistant. Following graduation from high school I went to university and earned a bachelor's in science of nursing through extensive academic training and clinical practice in hospitals and the community throughout Los Angeles county. I am passionate about using my skills and experience to care for and serve those who need it. I am patient, compassionate, flexible, professional, skilled, and service oriented. I excel in emotional and spiritual care as well as physical care. I pride myself in my therapeutic communication and critical thinking skills.
