Philosophy of Care: 

As a nurse leader dedicated to holistic and compassionate healthcare, I believe that high-quality care begins with honoring the dignity, voice, and values of every patient. My philosophy integrates clinical excellence with human connection, prioritizing safety, empathy, and evidence-based practice across the continuum of care.

I strive to foster environments where interdisciplinary teams collaborate openly, adapt proactively, and advocate fiercely for vulnerable populations, whether in primary care, long-term care, or community-based settings. With an unwavering focus on continuous improvement, I champion education, transparency, and respect as foundations for healing and trust.
Ultimately, nursing is both a science and a calling.

Every interaction, from triage to wound care, chronic disease management to end-of-life comfort, is a chance to affirm our shared humanity, empower recovery, and guide others toward wellness with clarity and compassion.

Hobbies?

I enjoy spending time with family, traveling when time permits, Mental Health advocacy, Substance use disorders advocacy, and exhibiting kindness and compassion to every one. Cross-stitching, coloring and diamond art.
