What made you decide to become a travel nurse?
"Being raised as an Army brat, I feel it was pretty much destined for me to move around from place to place! I’ve always been hungry for adventure and new experiences. After 5 years of nursing in Mississippi and Tennessee, I decided to broaden my horizons! I’ve now been traveling for 3 years!"

What attracted you to nursing?
"My mom definitely brought me to nursing! My mom is a pediatric nurse at a local pediatric hospital in Memphis, Tennessee called LeBonheur. I loved hearing my mother’s stories of how she would go the extra mile for her patients and families. My mom is an exemplary nurse doing God’s work and touching lives. She is a huge role model for me in my personal and professional life!"
