About me

As a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), patient safety and comfort are top priorities. Each person I meet brings their own needs and concerns. I take the time to listen and explain every step of the anesthesia process. Everyone should feel comfortable and informed about surgeries and procedures. I work with the surgical team to create a plan tailored to each patient and their well-being.

My military background shaped my dedication to serving others. My goal is to positively impact patients during stressful times. I find deep purpose in helping others through moments that might feel uncertain.

A successful outcome for me is more than just clinical results. It's rewarding to see patients wake up with minimal pain from anesthesia. I also believe that trust plays a big role in healing. Building trust with patients and their families means being present, honest, and supportive. Open communication is key, especially when caring for a child or an older adult. I keep family members informed and involved to reassure them. Their comfort matters as much as the patient’s, and I do my best to offer guidance and understanding.

Feedback often highlights my caring approach and clear communication. I appreciate being part of each patient's care and hope to ensure safety and reassurance. My goal is to offer care that is thoughtful, compassionate, and built on trust.
