Bio

I am currently going back to college to further my career and go back to work after having four back surgeries over 10 years ago. Therefore, I am not being able to perform my CNA tasks any longer. I enjoy working, especially in the medical field. I will have one son at home this Fall of 2022. My daughter is attending ASU, as a freshman this coming Fall. I am a single mom, that takes pride in trying to do the absolute very best for my children. With doing so, give them the very best lives as possible, with a bright future for them to create. I am very passionate about children and their well being, their happiness and love, and when I seeing no children left behind. My career goals have been put on hold for a long time now, I am so excited to get back to school full time at the end of this month. I am looking forward to my new career and new life changes.

    • Dream career goals:

      I’m wanting to work to work in a an office setting, hospital or at home one day. With doing that I’d be working as a Certified Medical Coding and Billing, I want to specialize in the department of investigation: Doctors Officers, Dentists, Hospitals, etc … because they overcharge insurance company and/or raise prices so they get paid more. Finally, I’ve even seen the medical profession bill the insurance company for services that were not provided, and not tell the patient. These are a lot of the reasons that healthcare costs are so high. I just want to make a difference.
