Her primary goal is to work within a primary care setting to actively promote health and prevent chronic disease. Her long term goal is to complete her DNP or obtain a post master’s certificate in Midwifery and one day open a free standing women’s clinic and birthing center supported by other advanced nurses as passionate about women’s health as she is. She embraces comprehensive and holistic approaches to health promotion and one day wants to teach and mentor future nursing students interested in women’s health and midwifery.
