Summary
Adept at clinical leadership and compassionate patient care, I significantly enhanced patient satisfaction and health outcomes at Providence St Peter Hospital. My expertise in nursing care coordination and mentoring, coupled with a commitment to quality improvement, has driven successful healthcare delivery. Skilled in critical care and patient management, I excel in high-pressure environments, ensuring optimal team performance and patient satisfaction.
I grew up assisting and maintaining the campsites and beach front at my grandparent's campgrounds until I left to attain my Nursing degree. I continue to love the outdoor life and promote it with a great passion. Keeping the boundaries to retain the awe of the wild experience for campers and the young to learn to respect and harmonize while being within the forests and trails.
I went into nursing due to my love to help people. And I also love nature and want to help others to love and maintain it for all.
