CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT
Professional Summary

I grew a passion in this field over 18 years ago, when my grandmother became real sick and bed ridden and I then became her caregiver. It made me feel good because I really felt important and felt i was making a difference.

I have experience as a CNA for over 15 years and CMT for 14. within healthcare facilities and agencies. Excellent reputation in working with geriatrics, Alzheimer's and psych residents.

At the end of the day, I love what I do.
