Kris Palmones
@krispalmones
Compassionate caregiver and public health student who combines patient-focused care, logistics, and bilingual communication to support independence.
What I'm looking for
I provide tailored, compassionate care with a focus on safety and stability. In caregiver roles, I administer patient care such as precise wound management, monitor health status changes, support medication adherence through structured daily schedules, and use proper transfer techniques and quick, calm crisis interventions when critical events happen.
I also bring strong people leadership and organization skills. As a basketball coach, I mentor youth athletes, build an inclusive team culture, and use strategic critical thinking to design practice regimens and adapt tactics; I’m equally active as a league organizer and social media handler, producing promotional media and managing logistics from scheduling to tournament brackets.
