About me | I am compassionate, hard-working, honest, team player, not afraid to tackle difficult situations. I took care of an elderly family member who suffered a major stroke on the day of my graduation from pharmacy school. I took care of her and helped her become independent again. I feel I can take on any situation and challenge that comes my way, as I've become a much stronger person. |
