“I have been a nurse for sixteen years with fifteen of them being here at JPS Health Network.  My specialty and board certification is in Emergency Nursing but enjoy all aspects of the profession.  I have performed as a bedside nurse, as a Team Leader and currently fulfill the role as a Clinical Nurse Educator for the Emergency Services division.  I also perform as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner here at our organization, which gives me great fulfillment.  I have been honored with several awards during my time at JPS Hospital: Gold Stethoscope, Excellence Award, and the DFW Great 100 Nurses.  I am married to a thirty-year Fort Worth police officer and have five children, seven grandchildren, and two very spoiled dogs.  My hobbies are crafting and gardening.  I love anything Texas Tech which is where is received all but one of my degrees.  Go Red Raiders! I love to teach and mentor nurses and look forward to speaking with all of you!
