Growing up I always had a passion for helping others. Throughout my education, I always enjoyed science and biology classes, so once I graduated from high school, I decided to pursue a career in nursing.

Throughout nursing school, I was able to shadow and do clinicals on various nursing units and I found my passion in the pediatric population. In my final semester of nursing school, I was fortunate enough to be granted an internship which I completed on the general pediatric floor at Albany Medical Center, where I was then offered and accepted a full-time nursing position.
