I am a Licensed Practical Nurse in the Community Living Center Hospice Unit at the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System, where I provide compassionate, Veteran-centered end-of-life care to those who have served our nation. Having begun my career as a caregiver and nursing assistant, I consider it a profound honor to support Veterans and their loved ones during life’s most meaningful moments, and I view hospice nursing as sacred work centered on dignity, comfort, and authentic human connection.
