I was raised in a home that provided care to elderly and developmentally disabled adults, it was a fantastic upbringing in a environment that most people will never have the joy of understanding. Becoming a care provider when I turned 18 just seemed like the next logical step for me career wise and personally, and it's been a blast everyday I get to get out and help someone out. I love meeting new people and doing my best to make their lives a bit better without taking away their freedom, regardless of their disability. I'm so proud of how much I've been able to help people enjoy themselves again in a healthy outlet. It's been a wonderful experience with each person I've come in contact with. I am the type of person who enjoys learning. The subject matter is usually a secondary, I just really enjoy improving myself.
