Goals and interests

Career goal

After successfully completing my Family Nurse Practitioner , my intentions are to either continue my practice in the emergency department, or to join a community family practice. All of my nursing experience has been critical care and emergency related, and I find that it is a field that I truly love. I am looking forward to being able to provide a more comprehensive care to my patients.

Graduate school interests

I will be starting my master's degree at Chamberlain University this Summer 2016. My focus will be on obtaining my Family Nurse Practitioner. The program is approximately 2 1/2 years long. I will be continuing to work in the emergency department as I progress through the program. After completing my masters degree and obtaining a position as an NP, I will continue on to obtain my doctorate degree.

Outside the classroom

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my two small kids. It is truly a joy watching the grow. I also like to get them outside with the jogging stroller and go for a nice long walk or run.
