About
With a career spanning over a decade in the Lawton healthcare community, I have navigated the full spectrum of nursing-from the bedside to the boardroom. Recently, I transitioned from an Assistant Director of Nursing role back to my roots as a Licensed Practical Nurse to focus on what I value most: direct, high-quality patient outcomes. My background in Administration gives me a unique perspective on clinical care; I understand the regulatory standards and policy requirements that drive excellence, and I apply that knowledge to every patient interaction.
I am a dedicated clinician who values teamwork, clinical accuracy, and the human connection at the heart of nursing.
