Summary
I'm an RN with over 20 years of experience. I have spent most of my career as a hospital inpatient nurse. I have also had brief stints in both home care and long term care. I currently work in an acute rehab on a spinal cord injury floor. I have won recognition multiple times, most recently a Daisy award in 2026. I pride myself in caring for my patients as I would like to be treated.
Prior to my nursing career, I worked as an Optician fabricating and fitting eyeglasses as well as teaching new contact lens wearers for 15 years.
