I am a nursing professional with a Master of Science in Generalist Nursing from DePaul University in Chicago, IL. My career began as a nurse within the Observation Unit at Northwestern Hospital, where I gained valuable experience in patient care. I furthered my expertise by working in the Adult Intensive Psychiatric Unit at St. Mary’s and Elizabeth Medical Center, and later as a Charge Nurse at a residential facility that specialized in treating Eating Disorders. I then transitioned to the Geriatric Psychiatric Unit at Penn Highlands Elk hospital. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to providing quality care and support to my patients.
After working as a registered nurse in psychiatric care, I decided to pursue further education. I successfully completed a Post-master's Certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Milwaukee School of Engineering - School of Nursing.
