Summary

I am currently seeking an opportunity to work with children outside of a hospital setting. Although my lived experience is nursing, I would be happy to take on any role (caring for children), which may facilitate some of the many skills I have acquired over the years. I am very pleased and excited to begin a new career in a different field. I am an organized and dependable person who is successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude.
