An inside look at my journey
How It All Began
I first fell in love with nursing during my Maternal and Child Health course at the University of Maryland.
In this course, I learned how guest speaker, Vickye Hayter, lowered the infant mortality rate in Santa Clara, California through the implementation of various community and legislative interventions. This sparked my interest in a career as a Registered Nurse and opened my eyes to the diverse career opportunities within nursing. It also highlighted the importance of nurses becoming involved in policy making, health policy, and legislation to influence decisions that affect our profession and patients.
I have grown to love the legislative and leadership side of nursing…
As the 2017-2018 President of New Jersey Nursing Students, Inc. (NJNS), I had the opportunity to work with an amazing board and connect 1,587 students in NJ to networking opportunities while advocating for their needs on a state and national level. This position taught me much can be accomplished with teamwork and unity. It also opened my eyes to the importance of strong leadership in nursing and boosted my vigor to impact nursing on a larger scale.
I currently spend my nurse superhero days saving lives and unclogging arteries in the cardiac catheterization lab.
I work with my cardiac cath lab family to save patients who come into the hospital doors with heart attacks and assist in the placement of stents, balloons, and pacemakers. Prior to my move to the catheterization lab, I was primarily responsible for the care of medical-surgical, stroke, observation, and post-operative cardiac catheterization patients.
When I’m not saving the world as a nurse superhero, conducting research for my PhD program (yes, I’m in school again…hashtag lifelong learner), or napping (lol)…
I enjoy giving motivational presentations, spending time at the beach, practicing Pilates, running, spending time with my family & friends, reading, and traveling.
