About Me.
I have always had a passion for caring for people, I received my nursing license in 2005 and began my professional journey. Working in surgery centers, and clinics in the dermatology and orthopedics, specialties. In 2013, I fell into a teaching job, having no idea that I would fall in love with teaching nursing students in the classroom and the clinical site. Fast forward almost 10 years later, I am still teaching, growing in my professional journey, and loving it all the way!
