Objective Seeking a position as a Family Nurse Practitioner in a family centered environment with
opportunity for continual professional growth.
I was born and raised in Quincy, IL. My husband and I love the community and have
decided to raise our family in Quincy where our kids will get to grow up spending time with
their grandparents and cousins because, to us, family is our number one priority. I am
passionate about my nursing career and I am looking forward to finding a position that will
allow me to grow along with it; gaining new knowledge and skills along the way. I have
experience in many areas of nursing and I believe these experiences have helped to prepare
me for my new career as a Family Nurse Practitioner.
