New graduate RN with a deep passion for critical care and a strong foundation in cardiology, telemetry, and hands-on patient care. During my capstone at UNMH’s NSI, TSI, PICU, and MICU units, I found where I truly belong. With a calm under pressure, a love for learning, and a heart for teamwork, I’m ready to bring compassion, focus, and commitment to the ICU team at UNMH—where I hope to begin and grow my nursing career.
