Questions & Answers

  • What inspired you to become a pursue your DNP?

    Working as a nurse in challenging environments, where I saw the beginning and the end of life, I knew I wanted to have the optimal skill level to help my patients. I want to be as well educated as possible to help them.

  • What is your philosophy on patient care?

    I am Native American, and my entire family has diabetes or heart disease. Being from a rural community, I recognized the hardship it is for patients to get to specialists. Patients want their healthcare in a warm environment, where someone knows their name and talks to them in the language they understand. 


    My philosophy formed from the experiences I saw during my childhood. By providing education and medical care to those with a higher genetic propensity and greater socioeconomic risk of chronic illnesses, we can help them to avoid the amputations sometimes necessitated by diabetes complications, dialysis, CHF of chronic cardiovascular disease, etc.

  • What brought you to St. Hope?

    The opportunity to grow and be a part of an organization that really cares!
