About

As a multifaceted professional with a passion for healthcare, education, and leadership, I bring a unique combination of skills to every role I undertake. Currently an OR Registered Nurse, I excel in providing compassionate, patient-centered care while advocating for the voices of those I serve. My academic background in kinesiology, including a research thesis and conference presentations, sharpened my analytical, communication, and problem-solving abilities. As a Teaching Assistant in physiology and philosophy, I cultivated skills in mentorship, public speaking, and fostering inclusive learning environments. My time as an Office Manager at Camp Trucking further strengthened my organizational, multitasking, and customer relations expertise. Across every setting, I am driven by a commitment to excellence, collaboration, and making a meaningful impact, whether in the operating room, classroom, or workplace.
