Registered Nurse II
William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, 6 Blue, Labor and Delivery

First UTSW job: Registered Nurse

Best part about my job: The amazing people I work with – they are professional, caring, and funny.

What energizes me at work: Teaching new parents how to care for a newborn at home.

How co-workers describe me: Organized and kind.

Recipe for success: Staying calm in trying situations.

Funny UTSW memory: I’ve had some maternity patients whose grandparents say, “You were my nurse when my daughter was born, and now you are her nurse!”

I wish I were an instant expert at: Eradicating the coronavirus so that we can go back to a normal life.

I’m really good at: Time management.

Hobby or passion: Cooking and reading.

Final note: I was able to help as a COVID-19 triage nurse through most of 2020. It allowed me to talk to hundreds of UTSW employees and presented a new side of nursing that was different from what I had done for 25 years!
