Leaving people, places and things better than I found them.

***********@*****.***
I am a compassionate, hard-working individual with excellent people skills. As a nurse tech at Presbyterian hospital, in Orthopedic, I supported a vulnerable population right out of surgery who needed help with the basic every day things a lot of us take for granted. Not being able to walk, bathe, feed yourself or even use the bathroom by yourself can humble the strongest man in the world. I found out that I'm great at caring for those who can not care for themselves. I have a way of connecting with people in many different situations. I want to join a team that can utilize my skill sets and enhance and provide new ones for myself at the same time. I am looking forward to being part of positive change. Willing to relocate: Anywhere
