Summary

I am Deans List Bachelors of Nursing (BSN) student with an additional 14 years of experience as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Following my LPN Preceptorship in Labor & Delivery, I was hired on, and continued to work in Labor & Delivery until my family moved to Switzerland. While in Switzerland, I continued to use my skills as a Volunteer School Nurse. Upon returning to the United States, I begin working as an LPN in Occupational Health. I also began pursuing my BSN studies. I am currently completing 180 hour Preceptorship in the NICU at Children's Hospital in St. Paul and I will graduate in December 2024. I excel at communication, teamwork, and empathy. I strive for excellence in order to ensure optimal patient care.
