I grew up and was educated in the Pacific Northwest.  I came to the Chicagoland area in 2001.  My clinical nursing training has been in Intensive Care and Neuro Trauma.  That training has moving me into the fields of wound care, community assessment and ultimately into a greater interest of global health.  I believe in the advancement of the nursing profession and enjoy mentoring RNs to achieve their fullest potential in our profession.
