Summary

Growing up my dream job was always to be a Labor and Delivery Nurse. I was honored with the opportunity after graduating nursing school in 2022 to go right into labor and delivery. I was an LNA at LRH for 2 years, before and during nursing school. I am currently enrolled in a accelerated Master's program at Capella University with the end goal to be completed by October, 2025. With my eagerness to learn, educate and succeed I am excited for my future and ongoing nursing career.
