I have been working in healthcare since I was 19 years old. I worked at my local hospital for about 12 years and in that time, I learned how to do many different jobs and was always open to learning more. I quickly found that this was what I was meant to do and I was naturally good at it, and it made me feel good to know that I was doing what I was meant to do. I treat people as if they were my own family and try to remember what it would be like to be in their situation. I always listen to what family and loved ones tell me because they know better than me and working together provides the best outcome.
