Additional Information

In all my years as a nurse, a major part of every role was to engage with clients & patients in a way that made them feel comfortable, safe & heard. It's my person & professional belief that open dialog & honest communication goes a long way in the working environment. In each of my rolls, I've had the pleasure of meeting many different people from all walks of life. It's one of the things that I truly enjoy about being a nurse. Connecting with clients & patients is so important & aids to the mission of empowering all clients to make educated decisions about their health & future. It's my mission to provide informed & empathetic care to each client that I cross paths with. I also understand the responsibility I hold in being the "face" of a company. I strive to keep a positive attitude & engage clients & patients to the best of my ability. Great communication skills. Experience helping clients feel comfortable enough to share their truth & making them feel heard, seen & respected.
