About
I am currently attending Ivy Tech Community College in Lafayette, Indiana. I am hoping to get into the Respiratory Care program within the next year. I will begin the Respiratory program in the Fall of 2015. I am studying Respiratory Care to become a Respiratory Therapist where I can work with patients with severe lung issues caused by age. Right now, I am working as a Certified Resident Care Associate at White Oak Health Campus in Monticello, Indiana. I help the elderly with their activities of daily living. I dress, feed, and bathe the elderly residents that live there. I thoroughly enjoy my services with White Oak Health Campus, and that is why I have chose to stay in the Geriatrics field when I finish my school. I want a career that is going to benefit people with the process of aging.

In my spare time I always find myself getting my camera out and taking random pictures of random things. I love taking such a plain picture and turning it into a beautiful masterpiece.
