I decided to take the leap into nursing because there are vast opportunities for nurses career-wise. I wanted to continue in my pursuit of helping others, and nursing offered ways to expand my impact and knowledge with patient care.\u00a0I am excited about this role because it allows me to learn something new while still contributing to improving patient outcomes through research and still being involved in my passion for perioperative care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nebraska Methodist College, Omaha \u2014 Bachelor of Science in Nursing (<em>Cum Laude<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metropolitan Community College, Omaha \u2014 Associate of Science in Nursing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nebraska Methodist College, Omaha \u2014 Associate of Science in Surgical Technology (With Honorable mention)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research interests:<\/strong>&nbsp;IntraOp Ox &#8211; For its potential to identify the optimal strategy for intraoperative oxygen administration to reduce perioperative organ injury and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Medical interests:<\/strong>&nbsp;I am interested in evidence-based practice in the perioperative area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Professional Memberships: <\/strong>Society of Clinical Research Associates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How I fell in love with surgery:<\/strong> The main reason why I fell in love with surgery was because I can give dedicated care to one patient at a time. I also enjoy the team aspect of perioperative services; you are truly never alone, and there is always someone there to support you when needed.\u00a0I was interested in the anesthesia department because I have always admired my anesthesia colleague&#8217;s dedication to patient safety and team collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Three things people may not know about me:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I studied Japanese in high school for four years and have been to Japan twice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I went to a one-room country schoolhouse
