Inside and outside my work environment, I've always been the go to person for compassionate and caring advise. As a former Sunday school teacher of 30 years, class mom extraordinaire, and Girl Scout leader of 12 years, it's safe to say, I'm well prepared for just about anything that gets thrown my way.
In my professional nursing career, I began part time in a private duty setting primarily with a quadriplegic, and progressed my nursing skills in a dermatologist's office acting as doctor's assistant, becoming proficient in all aspects of both nursing and Executive Assistant responsibilities.
Whether scribing, redirecting a meltdown, or sterilizing post op equipment, I'm professional and competent in providing exceptional care, assuring my patient's are comfortable and confident they can confide in me to address all their needs both safely and efficiently, while maintaining their dignity as well.
Loyal, dedicated and cheerful are the way my friends describe me, and how I work with my integrity in tact at all times!
