I have lived in many different states while growing up from New York, Minnesota and Texas to name a few. My family came to live in North Dakota and have been enjoying the beautiful landscape and opportunities. My family and I love spending time supporting the local high school sports teams, coaching volleyball and our camper in Devils Lake during the summer.
Experiences:
-
I have worked for schools in the past as a PE teacher, Athletic Director and about any coach you needed for a sports team. I attended nursing school to achieve my dream of becoming a nurse in 2013 and have not looked back on my passion to help others. I received my nurse practitioner degree and worked at the North Dakota State Hospital since 2014 in both a RN and NP status prior to coming to Spirit Lake Health Center.
