I have been in the healthcare field for 35 years, and have spent the last 12 years of my career at BWFH. I went into Nursing because I love helping people, and for the past 25 years I have been a Psychiatric Nurse. This past year, I was assaulted by a patient and I am currently considering pursuing a different aspect of nursing when I recover and return to work.

I have been a Registered Nurse since 1986, and received my Master's in Nursing from Boston College.

My biggest challenge has been having people take me seriously.

My greatest strength is in interacting with people - people open up to me.

I feel my greatest accomplishment was the voluntary work I did at a summer camp for impoverished children.

My goal is to return to work perhaps in a different aspect of nursing or to retire. I am working everyday to rebuild my strength and waiting for my attorney to tell me the outcome of my case.

What inspires me is taking care of my mother and doing as much for people as I can.

I want to be remembered for always doing everything I could to help another person.
