Title: Health Aide

My mission as a Health Aide serving both PEA and PLA is to ensure that every scholar feels safe, cared for, valued, and supported. Throughout my nine years in healthcare, including experience in Neuro/Stroke, Level I Emergency Trauma, Pediatric CVICU, and other specialties, I have learned that caring for others goes beyond treating an illness or injury. It means showing compassion, offering reassurance, advocating for their needs, and making a difference during moments when they need it most. I bring that same dedication and compassion into the school environment, knowing that even the smallest act of kindness can have a lasting impact on a child. My goal is to be a trusted source of comfort for our scholars and a supportive partner to their families and school staff, helping create an environment where every child feels safe, supported, and empowered to learn, grow, and succeed.
