In Romania, Ms. Tenita worked as a lab technician for optical instruments fabrication. When she came to the U.S., she worked as an electronics assembler in Chicago, Illinois, then, as a Tenant Coordinator for a construction company, where she saw a lot of handicapped people who were in need of help. This helped determine what she really wanted to do. Ms. Tenita moved to Oregon to follow the larger healthcare trend and start a new career. |

| Career Accomplishments: |
Ms. Tenita believes everybody should be able to live the life they want, enjoy life and live life with dignity and respect, especially when someone is in his or her final steps in life. Her business and personal view in life is to follow the golden rule, "Treat others as you want to be treated." Ms. Tenita took in a client who was considered at the end of life for care. She was told by a physician that the patient had less than 2 months to live. Due to Ms. Tenita's diligence and quality of care, liaising with physicians and continued assistance, the patient lived another 8 years, with full dignity, which means she was totally dependent in all ADL’s (Assisting Daily Living). This was accomplished by offering a lot of attention and personal loving care. |
