Biography

I attended Fortis in 2014, earning my Associate in Applied Science for Surgical Technology. Since graduating, I have worked predominately at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, where I was in the Peri-operative Float Pool. Being a part of the Float Pool meant that I had to switch units or cases at any moment to fulfill staffing needs in one of the other hospitals. The James, Ross, Wexner, or Same Day surgery in this position I had the exposure to every form of surgical procedure and had the opportunity to be included in some pretty amazing cases. Over my career, I have truly enjoyed being a preceptor to new hires as well as students. I am truly thankful to have the opportunity to explore and continue my role in a new capacity.
