About yourself: I have been a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) since 2011.

Why and when did you choose your profession? Since I was 10 years old, I told my parents I wanted to be a nurse. Growing up, all my teachers always said, “Mimi, you’re going to be a beautiful nurse,” because of the way I behaved and helped people around me. So I traveled to the USA and started working.

I took the CNA class so I can be part of healthcare because I love helping people that can’t help themselves.
