I am a motivated, self directed, caring person. I am always looking to expand my knowledge and to grow personally and professionally.
During my years as a registered nurse I have served as a mentor and a preceptor for many nurses. I have successfully led my unit based
council by serving as chairman and co-chairman as well as participating in other hospital wide committees focused on improving patient
care. I have excelled academically throughout my nurse practitioner program and attained membership of the Sigma Theta Tau honor
society. I am looking to continue my growth as a Family Nurse Practitioner.
