I am a Deaf/Hard of Hearing registered nurse with a cochlear implant, currently practicing at Mayo Clinic. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice student at Winona State University, I am committed to breaking down barriers in healthcare and advancing accessibility and inclusion for all patients. My personal and professional journey has been defined by resilience, determination, and a deep passion for equitable care—particularly for individuals within the disability community. Through leadership, advocacy, and clinical excellence, I strive to create a healthcare system where every patient feels heard, valued, and empowered.
