Despite facing immense challenges in her young life, she remains a steady source of positivity, hope, and strength. During her externship in the Intensive Care Unit and later as a tech while completing nursing school, I witnessed her dedication and heart for service firsthand.

Kaytlin consistently goes above and beyond for her patients and families—offering not just care, but deep compassion, genuine empathy, and unwavering support.

Her positivity and passion for nursing are infectious, making the workplace brighter and more enjoyable. Whether it’s a warm smile, a laugh, or a helping hand, Kaytlin lifts everyone's spirits. Her eagerness to learn and grow is inspiring. She doesn’t just work alongside her team—she brings out the best in each person. Her energy, humor, and kindness foster a sense of camaraderie and joy, even in the toughest times. To meet someone so genuine, dedicated, and selfless is a rare gift. Kaytlin truly embodies the qualities we all aspire to in nursing: compassion, positivity, resilience, and above all, kindness. Her impact extends beyond patient care—she shapes the culture of the entire team. Her career will no doubt continue to reflect the same extraordinary qualities that make her the remarkable nurse and person she is today.
