What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a caregiver/Home Health Aide role where I can support daily living, monitor wellbeing, and communicate with families. I want a safe, structured environment that values strong documentation, first-aid readiness, and growth into applied behavioral support.

I’m a compassionate, detail-driven Home Health Aide and caregiver with hands-on medical experience, including three years as a Medical Assistant. I coordinate patient needs, provide first aid and stabilizing support, and document vital information while communicating effectively with medical professionals and families.

My background blends patient care with operational accuracy. I’ve coordinated transfers to ensure patients access full medical care, prepared lab samples and results, and overseen medical billing and collections for approximately 200 customers while maintaining strong account standards.

I bring a psychology and pre-med foundation, plus professional training that strengthens how I observe and support others. I have an excellent understanding of pharmacology and the chemistry behind medication use, and I’m trained in investigating disease processes at the cellular level.

I also enjoy working with children and special needs support, including research experience and hands-on practice with autistic kids as part of my applied behavioral work. As I continue my master’s in applied behavioral analysis, I aim to deliver safe, supportive environments where clients can thrive.
