I am passionate about being a Pediatric Nurse practitioner, and I find it such an honor to not only work with children of all ages and their families, but to also precept and teach other PNP students to do the same. I feel it is important to be a good role  model in the classroom and out; therefore, I am very active in The Greater Texas Chapter of NAPNAP and invite students to join our local chapter at bimonthly dinner meetings and get involved!
