I can confidently and professionally approach customers and clients to ensure they are satisfied with services I offer as a representative of my employer. If I am not able to fully help them, I take responsibility in finding another person who can meet the needs of the customer. During work hours, I choose to commit my time and effort to what is required of me as an employee. It is always my goal to be a positive and competent representative of my employer and to put good effort into the tasks assigned to me.

Education
Central Lakes College Brainerd, MN
I attended CLC for 3 short months, but in that time, I completed both biology/anatomy and nursing classes and earned my certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant.
St. Cloud State University St. Cloud, MN
I attended SCSU for two full years and completed general courses as well as some nursing, education, special educations, and art courses. I did not graduate or receive a degree due to moving out of state, but I ended my second year with a 3.1 GPA.
St. Cloud Technical and Community College St. Cloud, MN
I attended SCTCC in the fall of 2019 to complete prerequisite classes and prepare for the Registered Nursing Program. I was accepted to and began the Nursing Program in the fall of 2020 but learned that it was not the career path that suited the family and personal goals I have. I am currently taking classes as part of the Health Information Technology Management Program in the hopes of earning my Associates in HITM degree.
