Summary

I have been a dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse (RN) for the past 29 years, with most of those years being spent with the same organization. I have worked Med-Surg, MICU, Mother-Baby, NICU, and now ER. Professionalism, dependability, accountability, adaptability, empathy, and helpfulness are just some of the principles that drive my practice. I am able to remain calm under pressure and handle difficult patients and high-stress situations, while remaining respectful to my patients, as well as my peers.


  • I have advanced the career ladder to a Clinical Nurse III.
  • I have won the Nurse Excellence award on 3 different units.
  • I serve as relief charge, preceptor, and staff resource.
  • I have served on multiple committees and participated in various unit projects.
  • I have my ER and NICU certifications.
  • I am current in BLS, ACLS, PALS, CPI, and TNCC.
