Summary

I have been a caregiver for my parents my entire life. Being able to help care for my parents is what's inspired me to become a Registered Nurse and has shaped me into the nurse I am today. I have gained experience in wound care, infection control, geriatrics, pediatrics, and psych! From neuro-recovery hospital, to long term rehabs, I've been able to treat a wide variety of patients with physical, developmental, cognitive, neurological, and psychiatric conditions. I’m a team player and reliable professional who follows policies and provides compassionate professionalism to give my clients the flawless experience they deserve.
