I've always loved helping people. Growing up, I went on several mission trips and wanted to be able to help people medically the way I witnessed other people doing on those trips. From an early age, I wanted to have a positive impact on people's lives. \n In addition to a passion for caring for people, I'm also adept at educating patients on complex medical issues in a way that's easy for them to understand. I enjoy walking patients through difficult situations, putting them at ease and being available throughout treatment. \n I'm a proud member of Sigma Theta Tau, the national honor society for nursing. \n My husband and I, along with our two young children, love to travel, hike and go boating at the lake in our spare time.
