What are your main focuses of practice?
One thing I focus on in my practice is patient safety. I work with my patients on decision making and psychoeducation to ensure their safety needs are met.
What other areas of the medical field have you worked in prior to Horizon?
I have previously worked in medical surgical nursing, insurance nursing, home care (both medical and mental health nursing), nursing education, and hospice care.
What’s your why? (What makes Horizon special to you? What motivates you to contribute your best every day?)
I love that Horizon cares for the community and values their employees. Horizon also highlights work-life balance and offers great support for their patients and employees’ well-being.
What would you tell a patient or family member who may be hesitant to reach out for help? What would you want them to know about our services and treatment?
It’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to ask for help. Horizon is a no-judgment zone, and our teams are passionate about helping people be their best selves.
