As a lifelong learner, I am always eager to improve my skills at work. I am especially interested in efficiency and collaboration, both in the workplace and beyond. After earning my Master's degree at UCSF, the faculty encouraged me to obtain my DNP at UCSF. I want to gain more workplace experience by working in a leadership role first, then revisit the idea of additional education.
