I have been a nurse for 10 years. For 2 years after nursing school, I worked for Methodist Richardson Medical Center. From there, I moved to Texas Health Resources/Surgical Care Affiliates. My current role is OR circulator and I am in charge of the infection control program. I got into nursing because I knew I wanted to give back and help those who don’t have always have access to safe, affordable, and basic medical care. Being asked to be on the board with such amazing, inspiring people is a dream! The board members motivate me, the patients we serve motivate me, everyone I have met on the mission trip motivate me!

"My vision for LIG would be to continue to serve the communities where we are needed most and to grow and expand to meet even more needs across the U.S. and throughout the world."
I got involved with LIG after meeting Raghu in Honduras on another mission trip. I have been to the DR twice with LIG. Aside from mission trips with LIG and SCA I am also very active with several local charities in Dallas. Currently I am the community service for Texas Tech Alumni Association of Dallas. I am also on the fundraising committee and a very active volunteer for a local animal shelter – Second Chance SPCA.
Being asked to be the first CNO for LIG is such an honor. I hope to further grow the role nursing can play in LIG. I hope to get more nurses, nursing students, and potential nurses involved in LIG. I hope to provide a beneficial nursing point of view for the board and help everyone see how valuable nurses are
