When she was near the end of her battle with cancer, a nurse would sing to her each day—bringing her peace and taking away her fear, even if just for five minutes.

She said that moment cemented her calling and her first clinical rotation back at Carthage Hospital only deepened her love for patient care.

She has an uncanny ability to tune into what her patients need most—whether that's a medical intervention or simply someone to listen.

Her empathetic presence transforms the care experience, reminding everyone on our team of the profound impact kindness and genuine connection can have on healing.'
