I enjoy traveling, I LOVE anything live music and concerts, and spending time with my friends and family. I really value good quality time with people, this is my favorite thing. I also love cuddling up with my dog and fiancé and watching movies.
I think of myself as someone who always puts others first. I have always been a very caring person ever since I was little. Any time I saw any other person crying or in trouble when I was little I would cry too, because I didn’t like that they were sad. I had to grow up a lot quicker than most of my peers. This gave me the chance to understand the importance of life and relationships very early on so I never take anything for granted. I have also been told I “have an old soul” I have many friends my own age but I feel I connect better with older people, which is what I love about working with geriatrics.
