My journey to becoming a nurse began during my senior year of high school when my grandma was hospitalized. I remember sitting with her and wishing I had the knowledge to do more for her—to better understand her care and support her at home. That experience stayed with me and ultimately led me to pursue nursing.
That perspective still shapes how I care for my patients today. I treat every patient the way I would want my own family to be treated—with compassion, patience, and genuine concern. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your loved one, and I strive to be that person for every family I encounter.
Working as a nurse in a small community is incredibly meaningful to me. I’ve been part of this community my whole life, and it is an honor to give back by caring for the people who make it so special.
Most importantly, my daughters are my “why” and my greatest inspiration. They push me to be better, to lead with compassion and kindness, and to set an example of caring for others. They remind me every day of what matters most, and they are at the heart of everything I do—both as a mother and as a nurse.
I have worked at Lincoln County Hospital since 2010, starting as a certified nursing aide and earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. It has been incredibly rewarding to grow within the same organization and continue serving the community that means so much to me. In my current role, I serve as the Risk Manager, Quality Director, Education Coordinator, and Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, allowing me to support both our patients and staff in meaningful ways across many areas of care.
