Summary
Registered Nurse, specializing in Critical Care over the last 8 years of my 12 year career. I have practiced in a variety of environments and have been a trusted member of every team I have been a part of. I take great pride in providing the best care possible for my patients, and continually learning. Because of this, I am seeking to expand my professional scope and move away from the bedside. I believe that I can bring the best care to patients by advocating and directing in a manner than can and will allow the Arizona Burn center to thrive for many years to come. I enjoy being a leader, mentor, and collaborative partner within the health care team.
