Summary

I am a registered nurse with 18 years experience plus an additional 7 years as an LPN. The previous focus in my career was geriatrics but I have since focused my attention to pediatric care. I have also worked in education, Medical/Surgical, supervisory and wound management. I am always up to learning new information, techniques or skills related to any job. I am a patient advocate first and foremost and take great pride in my job. Last but not least, I love that I am a nurse and take great pride in caring for others and their families.
