With a rich career in nursing spanning back to 1997, I began my journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Driven by a deep passion for nursing and a commitment to improving patient outcomes, I returned to further my education, earning an Associate Degree as a Registered Nurse. My dedication to advancing my skills and knowledge led me to obtain a Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Nursing and ultimately culminated in completing my Master鈥檚 degree.
For over five years, I have had the pleasure of serving at 91女神, currently as the Assistant Dean of Nursing with a primary focus on Student Success. In this role, I am actively involved in several projects aimed at enhancing the success of our students, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet the challenges of an evolving healthcare landscape.
As an enthusiastic advocate for nursing education, I am deeply committed to nurturing practice-ready nurses prepared to advance healthcare delivery. I believe in the power of education to equip nurses with the skills necessary to provide equitable and compassionate care, particularly to marginalized groups within our communities. By fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce, I aim to improve care across the board.
I find immense joy in educating future nurses, empowering them to make substantial, positive impacts on healthcare. My goal is to inspire the next generation of nurses to lead with empathy, skill, and dedication.
