What’s your favourite thing about your work?
When staff get together to sing happy birthday to residents with a small cupcake and a candle. It makes me feel that even though they are in our care, they are not forgotten on special days.

My most healthy habit is sticking to a lifestyle change to better my health and mind.


Favourite vacation spot:
My favourite vacation spot is Guam. Not many people have heard about this island. The ocean water is clear, and it has beautiful sunsets.
