I finished medical school this May and therefore have extensive experience caring for all levels of illness that you would commonly find in hospital, outpatient, and home settings with an emphasis on both post-operative care and surgical/medical ICU care level care. While I am very comfortable providing care necessitated by more acute or severe illnesses, I am still seeking and enjoy providing care and assistance across all levels, from companionship to the levels of assistance mentioned above. I'm passionate about finding opportunities to help people across all backgrounds with whatever level of care, assistance, and friendship they may need or desire. I'm empathetic, kind, and generous while also being responsible and goal-oriented and I'm excited to explore how I may assist people and families in delivering high quality, dependable, and kind care to whomever may need it. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have or discuss possible care opportunities in whatever way is easiest and most convenient for you, whether through email, over the phone, or a meet and greet.
