At a young age I volunteered at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center. I also had volunteer experience briefly through various school projects in special needs classrooms. I graduated with a certificate from a nurse aide program in 2008, but did not pursue licensing due to a move out of the country. More recently, I graduated with a BS Nursing (2022) and have a previous BS in Psychology(2015). I have taken numerous child development courses with my nursing degree, we had one semester of hands on clinicals on a pediatric unit at Vanderbilt Medical Center where I encountered several patients with special needs. I have a passion for nursing from a very young age; growing up in a medical family. I have some care experience with autistic children. I enjoy being an advocate and treating clients with dignity and respect. I possess the compassion that it takes to be a great caregiver.
