My nursing background encompasses pediatrics, neonatal, endoscopy, outpatient and inpatient perianesthesia care. Through my nursing experience, dedication to patient excellence, and employee development I transitioned my career into nursing leadership and education.

I hold a certification in pediatric nursing and am involved in several professional organizations. Such as the American Nurses Association, Sigma Theta Tau International: Beta Upsilon Chapter, American Society of Perianesthesia Nursing, and the Arizona Society of Perianesthesia Nursing (AzPANA).
