The Heart Behind My Work

My Journey as a Nurse & Advocate
I have spent more than 22 years serving as a Registered Nurse and nurse advocate, and throughout that time I’ve carried not only professional expertise but also a deep well of compassion for every person I support.
My journey has taken me through hospital care, emergency departments, hospice, home health, and management. Each of these experiences has shaped the way I gently guide patients, families, and loved ones through the often overwhelming complexities of the healthcare system.
For me, nursing has never been just about assessing, consulting, or advocating. It’s about listening with empathy, standing beside families in moments of uncertainty, and making sure every voice is heard and valued.
That commitment grew even stronger when I became the primary caregiver for my beloved grandfather. Walking through that role gave me an intimate understanding of the challenges families face and the comfort that true advocacy can bring.
At the heart of my mission is a simple but powerful promise: to walk with patients and families, offering clarity, compassion, and unwavering support when they need it most.
​
I honor each person’s needs, choices, and dignity—bringing expert guidance and heartfelt care to every step of your healthcare journey.
​
​With NEED‑A‑NURSE, you are never alone. I am here to guide, support, and to advocate—because your health matters, your voice deserves to be heard, and my advocacy will always be by your side.
