I have worked for CHW for 27 years and I have never seen a nurse with so much compassion, care and knowledge. I think she goes over and beyond her duties of giving the best care to the kids and their families and they matter the most to her. She is a strong supporter of her peers, and she is a great example of leadership in a positive way. She's humble, nurturing, kind and well rounded. I thank God for her every time I have the pleasure to work with her.
