I began my journey in the Health Care field in 1997. I started my journey as a Certified Nurse Aide for 12 years. My pathway was a long journey, but I never gave up hope. I became a Qualified Medication Aide then a Licensed Practical Nurse and then became a Registered Nurse.
My first love was geriatric care, that is why I take pride in teaching others to become professional and compassionate caregivers. I have trained at Ivy Tech Community College, the McKenzie Center of Technology and Innovation, Christel House DORS and Morning Light Abbie Hunt Bryce Home.

I currently own and operate the Father’s Heart Healthcare Education Center, formerly the Father’s Heart CNA Training Center. Father’s Heart Healthcare Education Center trains and equips individuals in becoming Home Health Aides, Certified Nurse Aides, and Qualified Medication Aides.

I am also the owner of Personal Touch Home Care, where our hearts of caring are brought into the homes of individuals needing daily assistance with everyday tasks.
