Bio

I am a graduate student nurse and speech-language pathologist with extensive experience educating clients with communication disorders and providing person-centered care across cultural, linguistic, and language impairment barriers. I am interested in pursuing a career in palliative care or hospice nursing. Further in the future I would like to attain my doctorate of nursing practice and become a nursing instructor.
