Bio

I am a Registered Nurse and RN-BSN student dedicated to my education and the life-long tasks of personal and professional self-improvement. I am proud to have a clear vision of my career goals and the paths I will take to achieve them. As a Registered Nurse in women’s health, I am passionate about education, advocacy, and serving others through life-changing moments. For me, nursing is both a career and a calling—a way to live out my purpose by providing compassionate, equitable care. I am committed to empowering women, supporting communities, and teaching in ways that make healthcare more accessible and understandable. Guided by faith and a heart for service, I strive to ensure every patient and family I encounter feels seen, valued, and cared for.
