What I'm looking for

I seek a compassionate, team-oriented healthcare role (CNA/home health/hospice) with growth, stable scheduling, and opportunities to apply my clinical certifications.

I am a trustworthy Army veteran and Certified Nursing Assistant with extensive hands-on patient care experience across long-term care, home health, and agency settings.

I have a disciplined approach to following orders and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to design medication guidelines, monitor vitals, and manage patient conditions effectively.

My background includes active-duty service in the United States Army where I developed leadership, conflict resolution, and logistics skills that translate to healthcare settings and patient advocacy.

I bring strong organizational skills, hospice and dementia care experience, certifications in CNA, medication aide, phlebotomy, and BLS/ACLS, and a readiness to relocate for an entry-level CNA role to support team goals.
