About
Im a single mother of 2 boys ages 11 and 9y.o. I been working as a medical assistant which I do have my associates in for the last 9yrs at Kaleida Health in Western New York. Im currently attending Trocaire college for my RN im going into my 2nd semester there. This is my 2nd time starting the program due to personal reasons. My fiance was murdered 3/26/2014 I was halfway done with my nursing so I ended up taking some time off to get me and my boys some time to grieve and readjust our life without him. I have since been back in school, working and also joined a church. I realize no matter what you may go through in life you must never give up on your dreams or yourself.
