I am a driven team player with a desire to be immersed in a thriving and passionate care team, contributing, and further developing strong nursing and professional skills, all while providing quality client care as a Registered Nurse. Born and raised in the Portland area with a passion to explore the mental and emotional aspects of health at an early age. Raised in an athletic family of competitive swimmers from age 7 to 18, health and fitness became a natural part of daily existence. With an opportunity to compete collegiately in water polo and swimming, I instead pursued my passion in medicine at Linfield School of Nursing and graduated in 1999..  I've worked in Labor & Delivery. management and administration and the last  years of my life I've pursued Addiction Medicine.  As a nurse in recovery, I want to give back to others what I've learned in sobriety.  One day at a time!

In my personal time, I continue to pursue my own well-being with attempts to balance work with leisure interests such as running, yoga, sound healing, meditation , socializing with family and friends, and watching my children in their endeavors. I moved to Bend last year and have fallen in love with the surrounding nature this area provides.  Move through this world with Light and LOVE!
