How I define myself: mama bear, supportive friend, oldest daughter and sister, compassionate hospice nurse, movie lover, former graphic designer, passionate human, social introvert

I haven’t always been my true authentic self. I’ve had to find my voice and the strength to use it. It takes practice, but I keep trying!
​
My values: honesty, courage, authenticity
My catchphrase: from uncomfortable comes change
​My strengths: harmony, discipline, consistency, connectedness, relator

Wherever you are, I want to help move you one notch more comfortable and empower you to advocate for yourself.

Bio: I was a graphic designer for nearly twenty years before I went to nursing school. While I worked at a critical access hospital doing everything from birth to death, I got my MSN and then started teaching. During my teaching career, I found my voice and encouraged students to find their voice. Realizing that my passions include end-of-life guided me to become a hospice nurse and end-of-life educator. We all bring to the table our experiences, viewpoints, concerns, biases, and expectations. Giving grace to myself and those around me has helped me have uncomfortable conversations with humor, awareness and understanding. I'm becoming more comfortable with asking for what I want.
