Compassion for patients, leadership in quality and patient safety and being a role model are just a few of the qualities that describe great nurses. The March of Dimes, an organization dedicated to preventing birth defects and infant mortality, pays tribute to the nursing profession each year by recognizing extraordinary nurses throughout the community. The Nurse of the Year awards recognize nursing excellence and achievements in categories such as education, quality patient care, innovation and leadership.

She is passionate about providing the best possible patient experience and about advancing nurses’ education and expertise.
