About
I currently serve as a critical care nurse in the Surgical/Trauma Intensive Care Unit at a level 1 trauma center in North Carolina. I can say, unequivocally, that I love my job. Yes, there are hard days, but at their conclusion I find myself proud of my accomplishments and those of my professional colleagues. Every day offers new opportunities for both teaching and learning which provide me with new ways to grow as a healthcare clinician and expand my clinical expertise. By continuing my nursing education, I hope to join the ranks of advance practice nurses in North Carolina in order to work among the best and brightest in healthcare in serving my community as a highly trained nurse anesthetist.
