I am a dedicated, baccalaureate-prepared registered nurse with four years of hands-on experience and a passion for advancing family-centered care. As the first in my family to earn a college degree, I am now pursuing a Master’s degree to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner—a milestone that represents not just personal growth, but a legacy of perseverance for my young son. As a single mother, I am driven to show him that dreams are achievable through hard work and determination. My passion for pediatric and neonatal nursing stems from my own journey as a child diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. That experience shaped my commitment to becoming a compassionate, empowering presence in the lives of children and families navigating complex health challenges. I believe in the power of empathy, education, and resilience—and I’m ready to lead with all three.
