Summary

I have been working in pediatrics for eight years. I started my nursing career at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin, and it was there that I was able to grow into the confident, competent nurse I am today. Furthermore, I have been able to broaden my knowledge and experience at my current job at the Hematology and Oncology Infusion Clinic at McLane Children's in Temple. I truly have a passion for caring for children and can't imagine myself doing anything else. I am hard working, positive, empathetic, dedicated, and an overall team player.
