Objective

My personal goals are to continually learn, give my very best, grow and enjoy life every day. A wise person once told me to “find something you love to do, make it your life’s work and you’ll never go to work a day in your life”. I found nursing and nursing has always brought me joy and consistently filled my needs as a health care professional and as a person. Teaching teenagers has been a delightful, unexpected bonus through my evolution from preceptor to educator. It has also enhanced my development as a RN. As I move forward in life, these principles will continue to guide my choices and career decisions.
