Certification
I began working in geriatrics at 15 while I was still in high school. As time went on, I realized that is where my passion lies. Over the many years I have been in this line of work, I have realized that no gesture is too small to make someones day better. I enjoy the assisted living setting the most because most of the residents are still very independent and i love chatting with them and learning things they enjoy or things they have accomplished throughout their lives.
