It's my passion to help people. Six years ago I started as a computer engineering major at the University of Louisville only to find it wasn't nearly as fulfilling as I hoped it would be. I needed to feel that I was making a difference through social interaction. After quitting my job at UPS I found a job at a local hospital as a nursing assistant and instantly found my calling. Fantastic schedule and air conditioning were just the tip of the iceberg with this profession. Now with a couple years of experience I've decided to pursue a nursing degree and I'm currently working at Mayo Clinic on the abdominal transplant unit. Wouldn't change how any of this has worked out.
