About Jimena

My name is Jimena, I am first-generation college student. I am a current volunteer for a local hospital in NYC for the pediatrics floor in the playroom. My role as a volunteer is to entertain pediatric patients and distract them from the reality of their hospital visit. From this experience, I've learned to work with a variety of population of kids and be able to see them as more than patients. My mom is currently a daycare teacher, to which I've learned a lot about child care. I also work in healthcare so I am comfortable with accommodating their needs and adapting to different environments. I enjoy playing board games, doing arts and crafts, and spending time outdoors!
