I have spent my entire nursing career working in the mental health field. My passion for psychiatric nursing began when I was a nursing student myself and eventually led me to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

My love for nursing education began when I took a position as a teaching assistant in the undergraduate nursing program at the University of Washington. As a psychiatric provider, I aim to bring a unique perspective to nursing academia and improve student learning and well-being.
