What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a supportive environment that values compassionate care and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a hardworking and motivated direct care professional with a strong commitment to enhancing the lives of individuals I support. With experience in various healthcare settings, I have developed a compassionate approach to care that prioritizes the dignity and rights of my clients. My background in Allied Health Technology has equipped me with essential skills in medical terminology, anatomy, and personal care.

Throughout my career, I have worked in roles that require excellent communication and interpersonal skills, such as my time at Outback Steakhouse and Jimmy Johns, where I honed my ability to engage with clients and provide exceptional service. Currently, I am a Direct Care Professional at Supreme Healthcare Agency, where I support individuals with activities of daily living (ADLs) and monitor their health behaviors. My certifications in First Aid/CPR and Stop the Bleed further enhance my ability to provide safe and effective care.
