As you will see through most of my work history, I have always had my eye in the medical field. I had a hard time figuring out my "nitch" in my early years, but I have always had a passion for it. My most recent employment was the complete opposite. I worked for a very wealthy family and with that came a lot of new responsibilities and new things to learn. I have always been someone to learn quickly and catch on to things quickly, and I am very thankful for that. It's probably one of my strongest qualities along with being so passionate about being organized and being able to connect with others. The couple I worked for taught me countless lessons and new skills I will use the rest of my life. In the nursing field, I was always a perfectionist, and that carried on through in helping this family maintain their home, and their lives. I was their personal assistants and house manager. I only left there to move out West to venture on with life with my husband. I am someone who has always loved all things fashion, makeup, and aesthetic. Silly me never even thought of combining my passions! Helping people feel good and look good! It fits me to the "T"!
