Biography

Besides participating in research, I am an Ethics Consultation Champion with the Providence Spokane & Stevens County Ministries. I am also actively volunteering for various community services in Spokane, WA. My nursing interests center around community health, epidemiology, and the social determinants of health. It is my passion to promote empathic care for marginalized populations and to stay emotionally attuned to others and oneself during stressful situations.
