About Angela

Love and support for others is the heart and passion of my personality which is why I opted for a career in the healthcare field about 15 years ago. I have extensive experience in working with people with many different disabilities and understand that every individual requires separate attention with varying needs. I professionally carry out my responsibilities by exceptionally monitoring individuals for changes in condition and report the change. I am from Kalamazoo, Michigan and moved to Phoenix in 2014. I'm excited to share my knowledge, compassion and love for people here in Arizona.

Everyone, no matter, deserves to maintain their dignity. I understand that there are many ways to "care" for an individual who is facing a serious medical issue. The most apparent are physical needs but emotional needs are just as imporant. I recognize that as a caregiver it is my duty to meet all the needs of the patient.
