My specialty is in psychiatry. The history of mental health challenges within my extended family became a trigger and determination to enter the nursing career, later advancing to specialize in mental health, with a firm belief that focusing on this area with resilience has positive results while making a difference.
I have dedicated my career to serving the SLHC within the Spirit Lake Tribe for some years. It has been rewarding. I don’t regret my career choice. I have impacted many who have crossed my path. I believe the only failure in life is not trying. Using my interpersonal skills helps build rapport with those vulnerable customers I serve, allowing places where I have worked exceed goals, as well as customers having hope in the healing process. I made it my mission clients will be treated with dignity and without discrimination.
