Hi! My name is Celine Pelton and I’m a senior in the nursing program at UNE. I’m originally from Massachusetts but am now living in Maine for college. In high school, I attended a vocational school where I participated in the health occupations program. I received certifications/licenses as a nursing assistant, medical assistant, and an emergency medical technician. I also played ice hockey in high school where I was the captain.

I have six years of work experience, and five of those are within a healthcare setting. I have worked at nursing homes, gaining experience with older adults and rehabilitation patients. Recently, I have been working for a home health and hospice agency. I’ve been caring for patients with various acute, chronic, and terminal illnesses. I enjoy the work I do and have found fulfillment in healthcare.

In my free time, I enjoy trying new restaurants, reading, and crocheting. After living in Maine for four years, I discovered a love for the outdoors and exploring new places. Travel is a passion of mine as well. I have been to several different countries, including Italy, Greece, and Croatia. I am always eager to learn, especially about various cultures and communities.
