I am a Registered Nurse with15 years of wide-ranging experience who is passionate about caring for our patients and fellow staff. Having worked initially as an LPN in acute care, I was driven quickly to obtain my Associate’s Degree in Nursing and take a lead in the care of my patients. My initial nursing experience included medical/surgical and critical care nursing. The last13 years have been extremely challenging as I stepped into several supervisor positions at Evans Army Community Hospital. Starting as a team lead for a Family Medicine clinic I was chosen to lead an outlying Soldier Care Clinic as the CNOIC. When the opportunity presented itself to become the assistant CNOIC of the Family Care Ward, I energetically accepted the position. I worked in the position until leaving Colorado in2022 and moving to North Carolina to take a position at Womack Army Medical Center as a Nurse Supervisor of the Hematology/Oncology Clinic. The clinic that I supervise has shifted over the years to the Cardiac Clinic, Cardiac Cath Lab and Pulmonology Clinic. I continue to oversee the hospital Vascular Access Team and maintain my certification. I have a caring, compassionate, and focus-driven attitude, and I really love my work—disciplined, energetic nurse who quickly establishes rapport with patients and colleagues. I see myself as a servant leader, placing the needs of others first and simultaneously maintaining a focus on the organization's or team's mission.
