Summary

Registered Nurses have the privilege of working with many people from different walks of life and backgrounds, and learning more about ourselves through the process of nursing people back to health than ever expected. There is an enjoyment that comes with worship leading because it is another way to nurse people back to health in a spiritual way by leading them to the great Healer, Jesus Christ.

Both roles require organization and practice to become excellent in order to make the appropriate space for people to heal and come back to fullness in themselves.

The real passion in my life is my family and spending time with each of them. We learn, live, laugh and cry together in everything that we do. We grow in love with each other and God as every day goes by. I am privileged to say that I have people that love the same things as I do and we spend all of our waking hours at skate parks, in the ocean or in the kitchen singing at the top of our lungs while dancing and making food. My family not only includes a husband, three kids and a nephew, we also have two beautiful dogs and couple of hamsters. I am truly blessed and surrounded by love and activity that keeps me busy and seeking God in every moment.
