Whether managing complex critical care interventions or providing comfort through simple human presence, I approach each situation with integrity, respect, and clinical excellence.
My nursing philosophy is guided by the core values of accountability, advocacy, and patient-centered care. I am committed to fostering therapeutic relationships, promoting safety, and contributing to outcomes that reflect both quality and compassion. I view interdisciplinary collaboration as essential to comprehensive care and continuously strive to improve practice through ongoing professional development.
