I am a recent graduate from the School of Nursing at University of North Carolina Wilmington. While I am so thankful for the journey I have been on while at UNCW, I am excited to take some leaps, face some challenges, and put my hard-earned education to use.Both in the clinical setting and beyond, I highly value forward thinking and am always striving for growth. Advocacy is at the very core of my nursing philosophy and I seek to help and serve patients so that they may live their best life. Everyone deserves to feel heard by their healthcare team, and I’m ready to listen.I have found myself to be a very well-rounded person in both academics and personality. I enjoy spending my free time doing puzzles, working with technology, and taking on do-it-yourself (DIY) projects, like creating my own home décor. However, I cannot describe my interests without mentioning dogs. Dogs in general are a huge light in my life.
