I have always had a profound passion for healthcare, a commitment that resonates deeply within me. Since 1999, when I first became a CNA, followed by my journey to becoming an LVN in 2010, I have devoted my career to this noble field. I am a patient advocate first and a caregiver nurse second, drawing from my diverse experiences in various healthcare settings.

Teaching is my gift, and nursing is my passion. I wholeheartedly believe that CNAs are the backbone of our healthcare system, and it is imperative for every healthcare professional to embody empathy and compassion. I feel incredibly blessed and honored to nurture and guide my students as they blossom into skilled professionals.

Together, we are weaving love and compassion into the very fabric of healthcare. I take great pride in leading them on their journey and empowering them to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those they serve.
