I'm a proud New Mexican—born and raised—with a deep-rooted passion for caring for others and serving my community. I've been a Registered Nurse since 2011, and my career has taken me through some of the most challenging and rewarding corners of healthcare. I began in the state’s only Level 1 Trauma Center, where I worked in the Trauma Surgical Burn Intensive Care Unit (TSBICU), gaining invaluable
experience in critical care and trauma nursing. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching and mentoring nurses at every stage—from students in the classroom and clinical settings to new graduates in residency programs. Education is one of my greatest passions, and today I continue that work as a clinical educator, clinical coordinator, and flight nurse. Beyond the bedside and classroom, I stay actively involved in advancing nursing and supporting my community. I serve as the President of the PTO at my children’s school and sit on the board of our local AACN chapter, where I help advocate for excellence in critical care nursing. I’m a wife, a mom of two, a lifelong learner, and someone who believes deeply in the power of compassion, education, and community. My mission—whether in the air, at the bedside, or in the classroom—is always the same: to help others thrive.
