Tell me about your career and your current job. What does a "day in the life of you" look like? 

I am an RN at a very high-volume hospital in Fort Worth, TX. I currently work in a transplant/surgical ICU, working with kidney and liver transplant patients. I also work with head/neck cancer post-op patients. 

What is your greatest professional accomplishment? Contributions you have made or plan to make in your role. 

Making the jump to critical care nursing has been my greatest accomplishment. It is something I never thought I would do, but when I got the opportunity to cross-train in the COVID ICU, I knew it was where I was meant to be. ICU gave me such a great base and helped me develop some very valuable nursing skills. In June, I will be transitioning to labor and delivery at my current hospital. I am very excited about this opportunity and hope to further my career in women’s health! 

How did your experiences and your education at Regis prepare you for life after college? 

The nursing program at Regis helped me succeed after graduation thanks to its partnerships with top Boston hospitals where I got to have my clinicals. I saw critical patients very early on and that prepared me for what I was going to encounter in my career. 

Share a memorable experience during your time at Regis. (Internship, study abroad, service trip, clinicals, etc) How did that experience affect you, professionally and personally. 

Playing for the women's basketball team taught me teamwork and time management, which are both very important in nursing and life. I am so blessed I got the opportunity to play a sport at the collegiate level, as it really enhanced my college experience and life after Regis.
