Summary
My love and passion for nursing started with Labor and Delivery. Compassionate patient care for Mother and Baby was a priority for me during a monumental event in life. After having children of my own, I transitioned to a more flexible schedule at The Sugar Plum Shoppe. I was able to tap into my creativity and lead employees to provide a positive customer experience. I learned a lot of communication styles with women in labor and then the general public. Keeping patients and employees/customers safe in their different but unique way is important to me.
