About Lashonna

I am 29 years old and I have always been a caregiver. Every job I have ever held required caring for individuals who needed extra support. I am a caregiver because I developed a love for the field at a very young age. I come from a long line of caregivers, the most influential being my grandmother. As a nurse she cared for strangers all day and then she would come home and care for her ailing mother, one son who had special needs and intellectual disabilities and another who had a terminal illness. Everyday that I advocate for the people I support, I think of that strength. I also carry with me the empathy of being the family member of someone who requires such care; I care for my clients that compassion. I genuinely love my career, nothing makes my day greater than finding new ways to care, support, and advocate for my clients. I am proud that I chose a field that I love, other than one based on monetary gain.
