Summary
As a very driven and goal oriented young woman I strive to provide patients, their families, and staff with the highest of quality, safe, and effective care. The goal is to provide nursing care, develop skills, gain experiences and knowledge while maintaining compassion, and respect for others in the ever evolving world. I aspire to work in a team setting where together we can develop and embody shared core values of mutual respect and civility. Where providing and protecting human dignity and human condition are at the highest of concerns. I began my Nursing Career in the Medical Surgical unit. From there I went into the Operating Room. In the past 13 years I have learned many skills and values that have enriched my nursing career as well as those who surround me. I have a true passion for learning, and teaching. I can only hope to share what I have learned and continue to grow in my practice.
