My grandpa was a doctor and sparked my interest in science, but nursing felt like my true calling. At 15, I cared for my mom with terminal cancer at home, realizing everyone deserves that level of care. So, I chose pain management to show people they're not alone. Pain isn't just about taking pills for the rest of your life; there are new treatments. I want to be their advocate for better quality of life. I'm passionate about connecting with patients, advocating for them, and working together on treatment plans to improve their lives.
