She began her nursing career in January of 2012. Her experience as a bedside nurse included postpartum and labor & delivery. After she struggled in silence with a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD), she made the decision to compete for Mrs. Arizona America to share her story, spread awareness on PMAD, and help break the stigma mental health patients experience. She won the title of Mrs. Arizona America 2018 and during her year of service found a huge gap in access to care for maternal mental health. She left bedside nursing to pursue a graduate psychiatric degree and worked for Nurse Family Partnership as a nurse home visitor working with first-time, high-risk, low-income pregnant mothers and their families.
