Summary
I have been a registered nurse with experience across a wide range of settings, including travel nursing, the operating room, neuro, step-down, medical-surgical, corrections, and psychiatric care. Working in these diverse environments has shaped how I care for patients by teaching me to be adaptable, attentive, and mindful of how physical health and life experiences affect mental wellbeing. As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring this perspective into compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care.
