ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

At Ephraim McDowell I started as a bedside nurse on a Medical/Surgical floor, transferred to the House Supervisors department then the Intensive Care Unit. During my time there I gained valuable experience as Charge Nurse, Staff Supervisor and Intensive Care Unit Charge Nurse and Preceptor. I started with my Associates Degree and continued until I completed my Master's Degree while working full time. I am self motivated, able to manage my time efficiently and safely. I value my time spend with my patients and their families. I try to ensure they feel safe and confident with their care and treatments.

For fun I am an avid hiker with my dogs, enjoy nature photography and scuba diving.
