My first experience with a delivery in nursing school cemented my sense of purpose. I saw firsthand how a patient’s sense of security and trust her in providers’ care was tied to their connections to her needs and goals. I pursued an advanced level of education to provide patients with the knowledge and skill they deserve in health care.

Empowering patients about their healthcare is my goal. Knowing what is important to each of them, helping them make informed healthcare decisions, enriches the important moments of their lives.
