Summary

I love nursing and believe that nurses are there to assist the patient and their family during the stressful experience of an ICU stay. I am a strong patient advocate and have served on ethic committees. During my career I have had the honor of taking care of children from birth to surgical interventions. I excel at using myself in a healing capacity so that my patient's feel understood, well cared for and supported to recover.
