Summary
I am a registered nurse with over a decade of experience. In the beginning of my nursing career, I spent the majority of my time with medical surgical/oncology patients. I continue to have a passion to helping those suffering from life altering/changing diseases. As my nursing career moved forward, I transitioned more into behavioral health because I felt I was more skilled in helping those struggling emotionally and mentally. I am a very strong advocate for my patients and their family when they are in my care. I would love to further my career with your company, helping patients navigate in any way I can.
