Tell us about yourself
My journey in healthcare formally began about 24 years ago. I started my career as a caretaker/ home health aide in 1999. In 2005 I became a Certified Nursing Assistant for a local Long Term Care facility. In 2008 I began nursing school and officially became a Licensed Practical Nurse in 2009. I started my Nursing career in Correctional Nursing, which lasted about six years, and ended as a Health Service Administrator of a 500-bed facility as well as a 25-bed Juvenile Center. I followed my Correctional Nursing career with a small stent in Dermatology as well as Long Term Care again, this time as a Nurse/Care Plan Coordinator, which then led me to my love of Hospice where I have been serving as a Hospice Nurse for over four years with the last two years as an on-call/critical care nurse. I was able to find a love of holistic medicine during this time with those who have loved ones or themselves in palliative care and Hospice.
I am a student at the Kingdom College of Natural Health for my Doctorate in Herbal Medicine; this allows me additional perspectives into the world of holistic/herbal medicine, preparation & options. My goal when working with families and/or individuals is to reach a place of peace and healing of ailments naturally, as well as assist with new life and with the difficult road ahead of the end of life. I feel that we all have something that fits into one of these categories.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Building a clientele of over 70 in my first six months of being in practice.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Knowing that you can't be all things to all people all the time.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Know that if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish it.
- Know that without God, you will struggle.
- Always know that you got into this to help others, not become rich.
