Hello! I'm Vanessa Denise Gonzales, and I'm excited to share a bit about my journey with you. After graduating from Mesquite High School and completing my education online through Penn Foster, I delved into the world of healthcare. While also caring for my beloved grandparents, I volunteered at a nursing home on weekends—a time that holds special memories for me.
I pursued further education at Texas Career Institute, studying phlebotomy and becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Continuing my quest for knowledge, I enrolled in college courses at UMA, focusing on medicine, as well as billing and coding. My career in caregiving blossomed when I joined a local living facility for the elderly, starting as a caregiver and eventually being promoted to Lead Med Tech caregiver in Rowlett Mesquite.
Despite facing a setback due to a car accident that left me in the ICU for almost four months, I remained determined to return to the field and share my expertise with others. True to my word, I resumed my career, this time with Brookdale as a Lead Healthcare Medication Assistant. Though the workload was demanding, my passion for helping others never wavered.
Seeking opportunities for growth, I eagerly applied for a position with Village Green, where I now reside and thrive. Here, I'm able to pursue my passion for helping others while continuously learning and growing in the healthcare community. Working with the elderly brings me immense joy, and I take great pleasure in imparting my knowledge to others.
A little fun fact about me: I'm incredibly dedicated and passionate about what I do. Whether it's teaching, learning, or simply striving to be the best version of myself, I'm always eager to lend a helping hand to anyone seeking to expand their horizons in life.
