Hello and Welcome! Thank you for visiting my faculty webpage. As a nurse, I strive to approach each delivery of care encounter with newness, the good medicine of laughter, care and compassion. My personal motto: “I can’t be a business as usual nurse in a business that is not usual”.

“When you’re a nurse, you know that every day you will touch a life or a life will touch yours”
