As a child, I knew I was going to be a nurse, and have been one my entire adult life. It is who I am. I am passionate about ensuring quality and safe care to patients and families at there most vulnerable.
I try to live my life with the philosophy "do unto others as you would have done to you." As a nurse, and now nurse practitioner, I use this philosophy to ensure my patients and family receive the same respect and care I want for my family and loves.
