Professionaloverview
I was called to nursing through the experience of witnessing loved ones go through different illnesses. My Uncle Mike was dealing with amyloidosis while my grandpa had glioblastoma. I witnessed the immense impact that their healthcare teams had throughout their journey and was inspired to join the fight and dedicate my professional life to helping those in need. I attained my BSN and have since gained 4 years of extensive experience in nursing through my time at Michigan Medicine as well as the various units I have worked on as a travel nurse. I am passionate about nursing and find great honor in being able to help others. I take pride in an excellent work ethic, being a great team player and striving to be the best nurse that I can be. I look to expand my nursing expertise and knowledge with a position in the ICU.
