Professional Summary
I am 18 years old, I graduated a year early. I am currently awaiting testing to obtain my CNA certification. I am currently Nurse Delegation Core, BLS, Mental Health and Dementia certified ! I’ve had a lot of moving around with jobs (not by choice) due to foster care, but I am now out of the system, and starting my career, so please show grace with my past jobs. I have experience in both retail and fast food/restaurants. I also have experience working in a nursing home and for my family’s business. I’m a quick learner, easy to teach and always willing to learn new things.
