FIRST BIG BREAK:
Joan Robbins, my administrator, gave me my first big break. She saw something in me early in my nursing career. When COVID-19 happened, she knew that my skills would benefit Briarwood.
ATTRACTION TO CAREER:
I have always had this nurturing spirit. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a nurse.
BEST PART OF YOUR DAY:
The best part of my day is waking up. We’re never promised tomorrow. I try to make the most out of every day.
LESSONS LEARNED DURING THE PANDEMIC:
Life is short. Never go to bed mad because you don’t know what can happen tomorrow.
REMEMBER ME FOR:
I hope to be remembered for being kind. Everyone could use a little kindness in their life.
