Goals and interests
- Career goal
I have been a registered nurse since 2019, beginning my career on a medical progressive care unit which became a Covid-19 unit during the pandemic. Since then I have gained experience working on cardiac floors and joined the Burn ICU team in 2022. I am eventually looking forward to a career in dermatology.

Volunteering
-
At the wildlife sanctuary I have the privilege of caring for the carnivores by preparing their food and providing enrichment for them. The animals I help care for include lions, tigers, hyenas, ligers, and wolves. These animals are all rescues, this sanctuary does not buy, sell, or breed animals. In the date section there is no option to select "current" I am currently volunteering here an plan on continuing to do so for the foreseeable future.
