I earned my associate degree in nursing and midwifery from Christian Fellowship Hospital School of Nursing in India. My early work with diverse adult and pediatric patients fueled my commitment to continual learning and providing compassionate, knowledgeable care. <\/p>\n

After several years as a frontline nurse, I advanced my education, earning a bachelor of science in nursing from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science in India. Over the past 13 years, it has been my pleasure to work at Kaiser Permanente, where my values and dedication to quality care align closely with the organization\u2019s mission. Kaiser Permanente\u2019s commitment to promoting excellence in patient care is reflected in the countless opportunities and support it provides for staff development. Thanks to Kaiser Permanente\u2019s tuition reimbursement benefits, I completed a master\u2019s degree in nursing earlier this year without a substantial financial burden. <\/p>\n

I completed my practicum and capstone project under the mentorship of an experienced preceptor at Kaiser Permanente. My capstone project focused on enhancing the patient care experience by improving nurse\u2013patient communication in the perioperative unit through the evidence-based intervention,\u202fCommit to Sit. The project outcomes showed positive trends, confirming the value of this approach. Additionally, my role as a magnet ambassador on the Quality Council has enabled me to strive for high-quality care and a positive patient care experience.<\/p>\n
