I'm a new mental health nurse on an adult, subacute, inpatient mental health unit at the Unity Center for Behavioral Health in Portland, OR. I am also in the process of completing my BSN online at OHSU. I am currently serving as Member-at-Large for the APNA-OR chapter. While I have a lot of professional and educational obligations in my life at this time, I strive to maintain a healthy work-life balance. When not working or studying, I enjoy playing music, running, hiking, playing board games, and spending time with my wife and friends.
