A
Brief History:
I graduated from Houston Baptist University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing(Magna Cum Laude). HBU
provided me with many opportunities. I was president of the Nursing Student Association, went to Aberdeen,Scotland as an international
exchange student and was able to participate in a medical mission trip to Mexico. Attending HBU allowed me to work in various
hospitals in the world famous Texas Medical Center. Following graduation I began my nursing career as a staff nurse at St.Luke's
Episcopal Hospital in Houston Texas in their Cardiovascular Recovery Room. While there I was able to work directly with the
"King of Hearts" Dr. Denton Cooley and gain a tremendous amount of knowledge to help lay the foundation for my goal
of becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I completed the didactic portion of my Masters of Science in Nurse Anesthesia
(MSNA) at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth, Texas in 2002. I completed my clinical residency training at Valley Baptist
Medical Center in Harlingen,Texas and graduated from Texas Wesleyan's Graduate Program of Nurse Anesthesia on December 5th
2003. I received my CCNA certification results on Christmas Eve 2003 with a perfect score of 600!
My conituing education
classes involve Pediatricic Advanced Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Neonatal Advanced Life Support and various
topics in Anesthesia as discussed at Northwest Anesthesia Conferences.
