I have wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember. My passion for nursing stems from my love of people and the ability to make a difference in their lives by doing what I love: helping those who cannot help themselves. My true passion lies with caring for those tiny humans we all love so much!

After graduating from Pacific Lutheran University with my BSN, I went on to fulfill my dreams of working at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma, WA. I spent 4.5 years on the medical/surgical floor and have spent the last 2.5 years in our paranesthesia dept where I was able to develop critical skills to care for medically fragile children. After 7 years of the hustle & bustle of the hospital setting, I was ready to find a job where my passion for nursing and my desire to lead and teach others from my own experiences could be utilized. Fast forward to today, I am living the dream of pursuing my passion while having flexibility and the oh-so-desired work/life/balance we all strive for.

RoHealth has given me the opportunity to not only grow in my own practice but has allowed me to live a more fulfilling life outside of work. If I’m not in scrubs, you can find me off the grid camping with my family, soaking up the PNW sunshine or snuggled up watching a movie with my husband and two beautiful children. Also, GO HAWKS! 🙂
