Affiliations

I am 23 years old; I enjoy fishing, baseball, playing the piano, and traveling with my friends and family. I felt my calling in nursing through the hospice networks and answered the call to work in critical care during my time in school. I have always been an extrovert and on many occasions have been told I could keep a conversation with a brick wall.
