Registered Nurse 4CC<br />
Vanderbilt University Medical Center<br />
Murfreesboro<br />
I have worked in <strong>Tennessee</strong> health care for almost nine years, first as a certified nurse assistant for four<br />
years, then as a registered nurse for the past five years. During my time as an RN, I have served on the Burn<br />
Unit Board for Shared Governance, worked with the quality improvement committee, and volunteered on<br />
my unit to be a verified check-<strong>of</strong>f for educational endeavors. This past year I was awarded Preceptor <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Year on the Burn Unit at VUMC. Also, for the past two years, I have been a night shift charge nurse on the<br />
burn unit and was a charge nurse at my previous hospital as well.<br />
I have been volunteering since 2009 for a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it organization in various roles, facilitating leadership<br />
conferences and leading regional volunteers as a Region Facilitator for the past three years. I serve the<br />
National Alumni <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> Austin Peay State University as Vice President <strong>of</strong> Greek Alumni and on<br />
the nominating committee for the association. I feel very comfortable as a leader and love to serve. The<br />
nominating committee position integrates my current career, my past experiences, and continues to build<br />
on my leadership and service to the nursing pr<strong>of</strong>ession <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tennessee</strong>.<br />
Thank you.<br />

I have had the opportunity to be actively involved with TNA since January <strong>of</strong> 2017 when the TNA district in<br />
which I live (District 6) was revitalized and I was elected as President. Over the past two and a half years, I<br />
have been able to learn about the policies that govern and the organization <strong>of</strong> the association. I have also<br />
recently joined the TNF Board and will be serving as secretary. I am interested in serving on the nominating<br />
committee so that I may continue to learn and serve my pr<strong>of</strong>ession. It has been a pleasure to be part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional group that is the “voice” for registered nurses in the state <strong>of</strong> TN.<br />
