Therapist/RCA (MA88625) (RCA18993)
I was born and raised in the state of Texas and I have been a Massage Therapist for 5 years. My inspiration for Massage Therapy came from my sister and brother-in-law who are also Massage Therapists, and my Mother, Daughter and Fiancée, who have always been my biggest supporters. In my off-time I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, reading and relaxing with my family.
Since I was a little girl, I had passion and dedication to help others. That is why I started my career in healthcare. I possess a Bachelor degree in Science of Nursing, as I enjoy every part of the health care industry. I love to learn different aspects in the system as this will help patients. My favorite quote that I use every day at work is: “We are the patient experience.” This truly helps to have empathy and understanding for our patients, co-workers, and all medical staff.
