From the time I was little, I knew I wanted to go into healthcare and become a nurse. I have a passion for helping others and providing the highest quality of life for all my patients. I also love meeting new people and being a part of the journey for each of my patients and clients.

I am motivated by the desire to enjoy each day and find the good wherever possible. I enjoy exploring new opportunities for growth and I’m constantly seeking new ways of doing things. 

## Education and Qualifications
I have been a nurse for 11 years and I’ve worked in Michigan, California, and Washington. I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Michigan State University and am currently in graduate school at Maryville University. Right now, I’m working as an in-patient acute care nurse, an in-home research nurse, and an apheresis nurse. I also function within different roles including as a staff nurse, break nurse, interim assistant nurse manager, preceptor, safety committee member, and unit union representative.

## Botox Improves Mood and Relieves Headaches
When it comes to administering Botox, I believe that communication is essential to understand the needs of the client and agree on safe, realistic expectations. Botox and other cosmetic treatments can be very beneficial for many reasons and have lasting, positive results. I have personally received Botox treatments and found that they improved my mood and also provided relief from jaw tension and headaches. I have many friends and family members that seek Botox treatments and have been pleased with the outcomes.

## A Bit About Me
I grew up in Michigan but currently live in Oakland. I moved here about 9 years ago and love the availability of countless activities, the endless nice weather, and the diversity of residents. My favorite part of living here is being close to Lake Merritt. I enjoy walking, running, and sitting by the lake watching the day unfold.

My sister has a French bulldog that I love and spoil as my only nephew. Luckily, she moved here shortly after I did, so I get to have my best friend out here with me on the west coast. The rest of my family lives in Michigan, so my friends have become my chosen family. 

During my free time, I enjoy anything outdoors and I love spontaneous adventures. Some of my favorite activities are yoga, trail running, hiking, camping, and pack rafting. I also enjoy spending time with loved ones, sitting by a campfire, and building or making things.
