Absolutely appreciate and always loved working in Pediatrics for twenty seven years! I believe working in the Baldwin County School System as a Substitute Nurse has been wonderful.
I have worked many years in triaging, and with many areas of Pediatric Health Care. I love providing attention to the children, and let them know I am here to take care of them. I love working as a team member, and I am very interested in making my team members feel supported.
I was nominated as the Surgical Services Nursing Excellence Recipient in 2008. Also, many times placed in the Award Categories in the same area.
