Summary
I am a RN, BSN dedicated to improving the lives of all patients under my care, and easing the work strain for my nursing team. Simply put, if a patient or coworker has a need that I am able to meet, I want to be there to help in the best way that I can. I am passionate about providing holistic healthcare that is individualized to each patient and their specific needs, and I believe it is an honor to take care of people in their time of need. I believe that the best units at a hospital are comprised of nurses who know that it takes a cohesive team to accomplish the job. I can promise to bring a joy and love for nursing to your unit, and I look forward to the opportunity of serving the community with you!
