Summary
I have been dedicated to the Mother/Baby unit since completion of nursing school in 2004. I transitioned into the Nurse Supervisor role nearly five years ago, which has provided a renewed sense of purpose and love for my profession and unit. I am committed to advancing in my leadership, and I would be honored to become the next Director of the Mother/Baby Unit.
