I am a sensitive caregiver who loves working with different kinds of people. I have seen the highs and lows of our human condition and hope to be able to use my nursing skills along with my previous life experiences to give back and help make nursing care a better experience for both patients and nurses. I have been lucky in life to travel the world, meet many famous people, and see things many people only dream of. It has given me a much broader view of the needs we have in health care in the US tIoday. I have been a Vice President of and Ad agency in charge of million dollar budgets, numerous people, quality content, travel, and time management. I have worked on huge projects such as helping to organize and start the Oregon Lottery. I was on the first committee to come up with the idea for the addition of the OHSU Center for Womens Health. I have written published articles advocating for better health care for women. One of these is filed in the Library of Congress. I have seen the highs and lows of our human condition and hope to be able to use my nursing skills along with my previous life experiences to give back and help make nursing care a better experience for both patients and nurses.
