Summary
I have done some years in retail, but I've been in the healthcare field for three years now. From the time I started I figured instantly this is where I want to be. I'm in school to become an LPN at the moment. Dental was my first foot in the door it has taught me so much, now I'm ready to branch out and do nursing/ medical assistant work until I pursue my nursing degree. I received my Nursing Assistant Certificate in December, 2024 and I am excited, confident, and ready to start this journey.
