I have been a registered nurse for six years. All six have been in the emergency department. Most of my experience comes from a busy level one trauma center, with a couple of years travel nursing. I was a college athlete, and now am an avid cross-fitter. I love all things outdoors, and will always be seen with my dog child Rainy :). I’m excited to be apart of this team and improve the quality of life of my clients. I believe “health is an investment, not an expense.”
