About

Outside of nursing, I live a full life with my husband and our dog, Kodiak. I’m deeply committed to personal growth and wellness, which I pursue through hobbies like bodybuilding, Bible study, attending concerts, and reading. These interests help ground me and provide the energy and focus I bring to both my academic work and patient care. Whether in the classroom, clinic, or community, I strive to lead with compassion, excellence, and purpose.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I am a dedicated and passionate nurse currently beginning my graduate studies to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. My educational journey began early—I started college at 15 while still in high school, graduated high school at 18, and completed an accelerated BSN program in just two and a half years. During nursing school, I consistently excelled academically, earning a place on the Dean’s List, graduating with honors, and being inducted into the nursing honor society. I’ve also gained hands-on experience working as a caregiver, special needs teacher, and nursing tech at a Veterans Affairs hospital. These roles have shaped my commitment to holistic, culturally sensitive care, and I aspire to one day open a bilingual clinic in Florida that provides quality healthcare to both English and Spanish-speaking communities.
