ABOUT  ME 

I graduated from The Quarry Lane School with successful completion of the International Baccalaureate program in June of 2021. Having spent 16 years at the same school, I was excited for a fresh start at my #1 college of choice. Dominican University of California's nursing program challenged me in ways that further strengthened my desire to be a nurse. After graduating from Dominican in May 2025, I successfully passed the NCLEX and obtained both my Registered Nurse (RN) and Public Health Nurse (PHN) licenses! 

I am currently completing my Nurse Residency at Mayo Clinic in the Thoracic Surgery Progressive Care Unit. Within my specialty, I care for acutely ill patients after their completion of thoracic procedures such as: complex esophageal reconstruction, thoracotomies, esophagostomies, Ivor Lewis esophagectomies, Nissen Fundoplication. Some of the many skills I've mastered are: managing chest tubes, surgical drains, pain control (including epidurals, PCA pumps), continuous cardiac/respiratory monitoring. Additionally, I proactively assess patients for clinical deterioration to facilitate escalation to the ICU and activation of RRT/Code Blue when necessary. 

My interests: photography, fitness, sightseeing, scrapbooking, & self-reflection through writing.
