Summary

I have been practicing in health care since I was 16, starting with being a CNA in a dementia unit. I had the opportunity to become a CNA at an early age from a program offered in High School at Central Campus. Once I graduated I went on to get my RN. I worked in a few areas while obtaining my BSN. I continued to work as a RN and eventually went back to become an ARNP. I was able to practice with Mercy One with Geriatrics specializing in Skilled/Long Term Care/End of Life until June of 2023, when they shut our clinic down.

I am an open and honest person. I feel I am a great team player and easy to get along with. I dedicate my heart and soul into caring for my patients, advocating what is best for them. I am excited for this opportunity, as it seems to be very similar to my job at Mercy Geriatrics, where I would still be working today if it was an option.
