Summary

I have a long history spanning of 10 years in the nursing field. Starting off with being a CNA in two different nursing homes (Heritage Care Center along with Goodshepard, and then on 6 West (cardiac unit) at MercyOne North Iowa Hospital all in the Mason City area. I am an LPN currently on a behavioral health unit where I have practiced in Mason City and now currently at Spencer Hospital on Behavioral Health Unit where I have worked for 2.5 years, and graduated from Ellsworth Community College with my RN. My future goal is to continue my education with my BSN. I always strive to serve my patients at 110% of all backgrounds, and being proficient with my time and care towards the patient.

Something special about me

Something fun about me is I own my own cookie decorating business on the side, and that has taught me how to treat clients and the difference and responsibilities it takes to run it successfully. Especially since it is only me doing the cooking, decorating, packaging and delivering.
