What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about nursing is the opportunity to care for people when they are at their most vulnerable and in greatest need. I have always been drawn to helping others, and that has been the foundation of my career from the very beginning. I fell in love with pediatrics during my clinical rotations and have consistently worked with children in various capacities throughout my career, including earlier experiences in education and substitute teaching.
Over time, I developed a strong interest in both the human and investigative aspects of healthcare, which ultimately led me to forensic nursing. When I was presented with the opportunity to transition into forensic nursing, I was immediately drawn to it because it combined my passion for caring for vulnerable populations with my interest in the science and investigative side of medicine.
