She/her
Supervising RN
Over 30 years of dedicated service in the field of nursing in a wide variety of specialties from Critical Care to Pediatrics. My service with the Transgender Health and Wellness Center began in 2019 as a volunteer, at our very first Palm Springs office. I’ve watched this organization grow and Flourish and I am so proud to be a part of the mission. I champion comprehensive care for the Transgender community, ensuring a safe and affirming environment while empowering patients through education and advocacy. With the many years I’ve spent in the nursing field, working with the Transgender Health and Wellness Center by far has been my most rewarding work. I am grateful for all the opportunities given. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and rescue dog Daisymae. I am a fierce advocate for animals and volunteer with several rescues. I am a coffee enthusiast and a proud Plant Nerd and enjoy nature photography.
