I grew up with my mom in & out of the hospital due to cancer & have always had a drawn connection to health care. Junior year in high school I took a CNA class, Senior year I transferred to EMT class. I didn't graduate with either due to moving a lot. In 2020 , shortly after COVID I had a strong desire to come back to health care. I took a CNA class in Covington, Indiana & didn't care for the nursing home environment. I decided to take college courses for Massage Therapy, fell in love with it & all it's healing properties. I moved to Terrehaute , Indiana and decided it was time to go back to nursing but, didn't want to go to a nursing home. I found Help at Home and become an Aide with them, it was by far the best job I have ever had. I had the opportunity to be in the health field doing what I love but also having that time to have companionship & good relationships with my patients.
