As a dedicated Licensed Vocational Nurse in the Greater Sacramento area, I am honored to be considered for the National Black Nurse Association DAISY Award for the year 2024. Throughout my career, I have actively engaged in various initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, inclusion, and preventative care within our community, with a specific focus on raising awareness and advocating for the health needs of Black and Brown individuals.

Through my commitment to providing culturally sensitive care, I have worked tirelessly to bridge the gap in healthcare disparities faced by minority populations in our region. By organizing and participating in numerous community outreach programs, health fairs, and educational workshops, I have strived to empower individuals with knowledge and resources to lead healthier lives.

My advocacy efforts extend beyond the confines of healthcare facilities, as I have actively collaborated with local organizations and leaders to address systemic issues that impact the well-being of marginalized communities. By amplifying the voices of Black and Brown people in Sacramento, I have sought to drive meaningful change and foster a more inclusive and equitable healthcare landscape.

Receiving the National Black Nurse Association DAISY Award would not only be a tremendous personal achievement but also a testament to the collective impact of our community-driven initiatives. I am proud to be a part of a network of healthcare professionals who are dedicated to advancing health equity and promoting positive outcomes for all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Thank you for considering my nomination, and I look forward to continuing my advocacy work to create a healthier, more inclusive future for all.
