Registered Nurse
Baylor Scott & White - The Heart Hospital
I grew up in the Lewisville and Plano Texas area and currently reside in McKinney Texas with my husband and two children. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be a nurse. In the second grade, we were to draw ourselves as what we wanted to be when we grew up. I still have the drawing of a stick figure with a triangle dress and squiggly line around the neck.
Working in the operating room as a unit secretary for 7 years, I knew surgery was where I was supposed to be and take care of patients. After nursing school, I completed the OR internship at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas where I rotated through all surgical services. As I like to put it, I saved the best for last and finished my training in the cardiothoracic realm. With a newfound passion, I went on to work at Baylor Scott & White- The Heart Hospital where I am currently. I am also working on my masters of nursing in administration and hope to be in a leadership role one day.
