One of my most meaningful professional achievements has been obtaining my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). Earning this degree was both a personal milestone and a reflection of my commitment to advancing evidence-based, patient-centered care. I am also proud to have played a key role in helping to grow the mental health department at SRS. Our organization serves dual diagnosis individuals and I have worked hard to align my practice with the SRS vision by prioritizing accessibility, dignity, and long-term support. Helping to expand mental health services in our community has been both a challenging and deeply rewarding experience, and it continues to fuel my passion for innovation and advocacy in behavioral health care. My greatest personal highlight is my family. They are my constant source of support, inspiration, and balance. The values I hold as a caregiver and leader, compassion, resilience, and empathy, are deeply rooted in the relationships I share with them. My family keeps me grounded and reminds me daily of the importance of connection and care in all that I do.
