<div>Hello and thank you for visiting my page!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am honored to be accepted into the 2025 cohort of Healing Politics, a nonpartisan campaign school that empowers nurses to run for elected office. This July, I will join fellow nurse leaders to learn how to manage a political campaign and run for office—with the ultimate goal of bringing healthcare expertise into policymaking.

</div>
<div>Our first challenge in this program is raising funds for tuition, travel, and accommodations—an exercise designed to help us get comfortable asking for donations on behalf of our future campaigns.
</div>

</div>
<div>Advocacy has been at the heart of my career. In my community, I actively support the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay. I serve on the legislative task force for the Commission for Nurse Reimbursement, fighting to change reimbursement models that impact staffing and contribute to America’s nursing shortage. As a committed member of the Florida Nurses Association, I have traveled to Tallahassee to meet with state representatives, advocating for legislation to improve conditions for patients and healthcare workers.

</div>
<div>For a democracy to truly represent the people, it must include voices from all sectors. Nursing is the largest workforce in America, yet nurses remain severely underrepresented in politics. Let's change that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support—whether large or small—helps pave the way for a future where nurses have a seat at the table. Thank you for being part of this movement!
