Rooted in a deep faith in God that guides every aspect of her life and practice, Renee has always felt called to care for those who are suffering. Her journey in healthcare began early as she cared for her father through brain cancer and supported other family members during illness.

While her faith remains her highest priority, Renee also pursues a strong calling to teach. She is dedicated to educating nursing students and helping them integrate empathy, humanity, and purpose into their practice…just as her faith inspires her to do each day.
