About
My aim is to be an experienced asset to your medical team.
Private Duty
Nursing is my specialty and I look forward to expanding my area of expertise to include Correctional Nursing. I am caring, insightful, and competent in my practice. Psychiatric nursing care was my experience from the beginning of my career in a Longterm Care Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation facility.
In recent years, I predominantly worked with Jewish Family Services in partnership with Kirva Hospice in Home Health. My private duty clients report appreciation, comfort and high satisfaction with the personal care that I provide.
