Known for her integrity, accountability, and patient-centered approach, Rebecca is deeply committed to ensuring every student and patient receives compassionate, individualized care. Over the course of her career, Rebecca has built a diverse clinical background that includes a decade working in neurology ICU, leadership in infusion therapy, and extensive experience in home health and case management. For the past 20 years, she has focused primarily on school nursing, managing healthcare services for children ranging from infancy through young adulthood. In her current leadership role, she supervises a team of nurses while also spearheading innovative health initiatives, including the development of an AED program and the implementation of two mobile health units designed to serve students and underserved rural communities throughout the parish. Her dedication to improving access to healthcare has made a meaningful impact on both the school system and the surrounding community. Rebecca is equally passionate about mentorship, leadership, and advancing the nursing profession. After beginning her career with an associate degree from Charity School of Nursing, she later returned to school to earn her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Western Governors University and is currently pursuing her Master’s Degree in Nursing Administration. She actively mentors newer nurses in her district, participates in peer mentorship programs through WGU, and speaks annually to health related service graduate program students at Louisiana State University about the realities and responsibilities of school nursing.
