I studied Nursing at San Diego State University. Following graduation, I worked on the Oncology floor at Scripps but transferred to the Intensive Care Unit at Scripps. There, i was exposed to complex medical issues. I enjoyed critical thinking and the fast paced environment of the ICU. My job duties included being a charge nurse and a code nurse for the hospital. After a few years, I eventually decided to obtain a Master’s degree for Adult Nurse Practitioner from San Diego State University. Since that time, I have been working in Neurosurgery.
