DAYVILLE — Kathleen Licata has been acknowledged as Westview Health Care Center’s March Employee of the Month. She is a Certified Nursing Assistant at Westview and began working at the Dayville skilled nursing facility in November 2020.
She said she has always wanted to work in the medical field; holding an interest to be a health care provider since she was young.
Shen earned her CNA certification from Quinebaug Valley Community College and will soon further her skills at Lincoln Technical Institute in Rhode Island. While continuing to work as a CNA, she will enrich her professional development by beginning coursework to become a Licensed Practical Nurse this spring.
She lists cars, trucks and motorcycles as some of her hobbies, and she credits that fascination for inspiring her to work in medicine: the understanding of the inner workings of machines and human bodies captivates her professional pursuits to this day. Kathleen moved to Connecticut in 2009 with her family, thereby shortening the distance to visit her grandmother.
She refers to her daughter Viviana as her whole world. She said that her relationship with her daughter is a central motivation to pursuing further education and becoming an LPN, and she wants to exemplify to Viviana that you can accomplish any goal at any age. Kathleen is adamant that there is no limit to anyone’s potential.
At Westview, she said, “I love doing what I do as a nursing care provider, and I love making people laugh whenever I can.” Kathleen commented.
Westview Administrator David T. Panteleakos said, “I have great respect for Kathleen’s professional talents as a CNA at Westview, and I have shared many smiles with her and our residents in lighter moments. Knowing that she applies laughter as medicine gives me confidence that we are treating our residents and patients with every possible way of improving their lives.”
