I believe in the integration of education and clinical practice, the power of research, and the importance of humanity in healthcare. As I pursue my Family Nurse Practitioner degree at Columbia, I am committed to supporting patients at the bedside—advocating for their needs, helping to shape their plans of care, and ensuring they feel seen and heard. I also remain deeply engaged in using theater as a tool to help healthcare professionals process personal loss through STAGING LOSS, and I assist lead oncologists in advancing their research. Throughout this journey, I am proud to be an active member of both the Columbia community and the broader nursing profession.
