FinalistBio
Alumna of Trinity Christian College with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I am currently a Registered Nurse at Lurie Children's Hospital. Detail-oriented and resourceful Registered nurse with a strong background in inpatient care, broad clinical skills, and providing high-quality care in diverse hospital environments (PICU, NICU, CCU, Respiratory floor, Hem/Onc, Gen/Med, Neuro). Recognized for critical thinking, accurate documentation in Epic EHR, and the ability to assess medical necessity in high-
pressure environments. Experienced in collaborating in multidisciplinary teams and complex clinical scenarios. I have always been interested in law, and as a nurse, the desire to learn more about it has only grown stronger. I began to wonder how I could apply the skills I have developed in nursing to incorporate law into my career. My long-term goal is to pivot from bedside nursing into roles of health policy, compliance, risk management, or legal nurse consulting.
