What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my personal journey as a stay-at-home mom who started in the medical field due to personal struggles. Those experiences taught me resilience, resourcefulness, and the determination to create opportunities, driving me to work hard and succeed in every endeavor.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received came from Evan Campbell, a former Army medic who transitioned to nursing in the civilian sector. His guidance and example had a profound influence on me, shaping my approach to professional growth and helping me navigate my path to success.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Start at the bedside: gain CNA experience first to learn hands‑on care before pursuing LPN/RN training. Hospice work builds deep rapport and valuable nursing skills that benefit any future nursing path.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Oftentimes the challenges in the nursing field are making sure that patient care comes first. Making the patient a priority in my eyes is what nursing care is and should always be.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Honesty is the value I hold most important in both my professional and personal life. I believe that when you are honest, it is straightforward to explain your reasoning and intentions, fostering trust and clarity in every interaction. Conversely, dishonesty makes it difficult to maintain consistency and credibility over time, which can undermine relationships and decision-making. By prioritizing honesty, I ensure that my actions and choices are transparent, authentic, and aligned with my principles.
