Bailey Allen Email & Phone Number

interested in healthcare since I was a little girl. I started off as a gymnast at age 10, I became very interested in the physiological aspects of a gymnasts career. at the age of 15 I became a gymnastics coach to view the different mental challenges of gymnastics from a different perspective. my cousin, a type one diabetic attended a summer camp every summer called FCYD, this foundation changed my life completely. I began going to this diabetes camp in 2018 out of interest in health care and learned so many things about diabetes and how it impacts diabetics daily living and mental health. throughout the course of 7 years i grew fond of the physical and mental impact diabetes has on thousands of people of all ages around the world. I applied for kitchen staff at FCYD and that is where my journey in healthcare began.I was then moved into a head dietary position by the director himself where I got the opportunity to educate children on the importance of a healthy diet when living with diabetes as well as the medical/mathematical aspect where I help children understand how much insulin to dose for each meal due to the amount of carbs being consumed. the following year I was contacted by the director informing me I was being moved to a programming position along with dietary. I began programming what these week long educational camps would look like and what activities and lessons would go along with each week. I became very close to all other staff members and learned many life lessons and skills with them by my side. I soon realized I love working with kids and having the opportunity to become a child's safe person. this is where my love for pediatrics began. the director of FCYD, David Okubo, is a licenced pediatrician with an association with endocrinology. I became a part time employee this past year, (2024) as a MA/private nurse for his clinic. I then applied to get my CNA soon after. I have been through many challenges and have been brought many opportunities throughout my life and could not be more thankful for every single one of them. when I am helping people, I believe the world is a better place.
