I am a vibrant, educated, and proud Mexican-American Registered Nurse.
The following quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail", can definitely describe "in a nutshell" what I have done in my career as a Registered Nurse since 2005. I started my career at USC Women's and Children's Hospital, in Los Angeles, caring for newborns in the Neonatal ICU. In order to grow professionally, I took a job at Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). I then got the "travel bug" and decided to take on a travel nursing assignment. I took an assignment in the exotic, hot, and exciting city of Apple Valley. Although not much of a travel for me, I just wanted to experience something different. Soon after my "travels", I took on a different challenge in a non-profit organization as the Head Start Registered Nurse. I enjoy working with the community and reaching out to multicultural families. I am not sure what is next for me, but I will go "where there is no path and leave a trail."

I am an Alumni of Los Angeles County College of Nursing and Allied Health, Rio Hondo College and University of Phoenix.

I take pleasure in being a mentor to nursing students who need assistance and guidance with scholarship information, entry into a nursing program, networking opportunities, employment guidance and general support.
